SUMMARY:Roots to Reservoirs Walk
DESCRIPTION:This City of Forest Day learn about how trees and soils work together to absorb and filter water to protect our city’s water resources. \n\nAbout this event\nThis City of Forest Day\, join NYC H2O for a unique journey through the natural wonders of Ridgewood Reservoir! The morning begins with a guided tour of the varied landscape where we will observe the relationships between Ridgewood Reservoir’s forests and the underlying soils that support them. After the tour\, get your hands dirty at our discovery stations as we dive into the hidden world of soils and water! Learn how trees and soils work together to absorb and filter water to protect our city’s water resources. \n***Appropriate for all ages.*** \nThe Ridgewood Reservoir in Highland Park is a 50+ acre natural oasis that straddles the border of Brooklyn and Queens. Built in 1859 to supply the once independent City of Brooklyn with high quality water\, it became obsolete with the addition of new reservoirs in the Catskills in the 1950’s and was decommissioned in the 1980’s. \nSince then\, nature took its course in a perfect case study of ecological succession. A lush and dense forest has grown in its two outside basins while a freshwater pond with waterfowl sits in the middle basin. This fresh water source is critical to migrating birds on the Atlantic Flyway. \nWe will meet in the parking lot on 58-2 Vermont Place\, Brooklyn\, NY 11207\, across the street from the reservoir.
