Friends of Bushwick Inlet Park Vernal Convocation ‘23

What’s going on with the various parts of Bushwick Inlet Park? What kind of programming is FBIP creating this year? Parcel status, stewardship, programming, gardening, volunteer opportunities (we need you!), oyster surveying, and this year’s Summer Music Series – we’ll tell all!

Also, join us for * The New Resilience- Beyond USACE HATS *, a seminar presentation & panel discussion with:

*Alice Shay & Mikalya Hoskins, leading urban design and strategic planning projects with Buro Happold’s Cities team, Buro Happold

*Tyler Taba, Senior Manager for Climate Policy, Waterfront Alliance, Rise2Resilience

*Willis Elkins, Executive Director, Newtown Creek Alliance

The Buro Happold team will explore how public open space can be designed to serve as a resilient defense in the face of current and increasing climate impacts, and as a more thoughtful alternative to blunt hard infrastructure options.

Tyler Taba and Willis Elkins will tie this directly to the USACE NYNJHATS storm risk management concept and to the local North Brooklyn landscape.

Q&A to follow.
