SUMMARY:Fall Plant ID Walk at the Ridgewood Reservoir
DESCRIPTION:Join naturalist Caitlin Lynch to observe and learn about plants at the Ridgewood Reservoir. \n\nAbout this event\nDuring this (approx) 1 hour walk\, Caitlin will share with participants common and scientific plant names\, how to identify certain species\, their characteristics\, their family relationships\, their uses (ecological and social) and some botanic terms. The tour will include weedy plants\, herbaceous plants\, flowering plants\, trees\, grasses and common invasives. Participants are encouraged to contribute knowledge\, ask questions and store their observations in their plant ID app of choice. The tour route will include the West Causeway and other park areas. \nAppropriate for all ages and all levels. Event is rain or shine but may be rescheduled in the case of storm conditions. \nCaitlin Lynch is an urban naturalist\, environmental scientist and plant aficionado based in Brooklyn. She has worked with the NYC Parks Department\, Natural Areas Conservancy\, and NYC H20 on a myriad of restoration\, stewardship\, and ecological surveying projects throughout the city. \nNew York City is home to over 1\,300 native plants and many other naturalized species that provide ecosystem services including specialized habitat\, food\, and a host of medical and other uses. The grounds of Ridgewood Reservoir\, located in Highland Park\, have been maintained and managed to restore many of the native plant species to this area. The late summer/early fall is an ideal time for plant ID in the Northeast with its abundance of late blooming flowers\, seed/fruit formations\, and early leaf color changes.

SUMMARY:Canarsie Park Cleanup
DESCRIPTION:Please join us along with CM Mercedes Narcisse’s office for a volunteer cleanup at Canarsie Park in Brooklyn! \nCanarsie Park connects to Canarsie Pier and overlooks Paerdegat Basin. Before the 1920s\, Paerdegat Basin was Paerdegat Creek\, a freshwater tidal creek connecting to Jamaica Bay. Canarsie Park is known for its recreation facilities\, but it is also home to a surprising number of diverse wildlife spanning multiple acquatic ecosystems due to Canarsie’s close proximity to the seashore and its lesser known wetland hiking trails. \nThe cleanup will run from 10am to 12:00pm. Gloves\, garbage bags and pickers will be provided. \nPlease wear sunscreen and bring plenty of water to stay hydrated. 💧 \nThanks to Council Member Mercedes Narcisse for supporting our environmental stewardship programs. \nLocation: Canarsie Park\, 314 Seaview Ave Brooklyn\, NY 11236

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.

SUMMARY:Insects Walk at the Ridgewood Reservoir
DESCRIPTION:Join naturalist Steve Nanz to observe and learn about insects at the Ridgewood Reservoir. There are over 1\,400 species of these winged mammals worldwide. Come discover which ones live at the Reservoir as well as learn about other nocturnal animals. \nThe Ridgewood Reservoir\, nestled in Highland Park\, is a 50+ acre ecological oasis that was once a high quality water supply built by the independent City of Brooklyn in 1858. Since decommissioning\, nature took its course in a perfect case study of ecological succession!

SUMMARY:Volunteer Landscaping and Cleanup at the Ridgewood Reservoir
DESCRIPTION:Join NYC H2O and the NYC Parks Department as we remove invasive plants and plant native plants in the pollinator garden! \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 Vermont Place\, Brooklyn\, NY 11207\, across the street from the reservoir.

SUMMARY:ROW NY Brooklyn- Community Rowing (Canarsie Park)
DESCRIPTION:Join NYC H2O and ROW NY in Brooklyn to learn how to row and learn about how to protect NYC’s local aquatic ecosystems! \n*** \nRow New York was founded in 2002 based on the premise that the discipline of competitive rowing combined with rigorous academic support yields powerful returns. Their programs have impacted New Yorkers \, helping to build strong\, confident young people ready to tackle the demands of college. We’ve worked with people of all ages\, with and without physical and cognitive disabilities\, to build strength and a sense of teamwork and tenacity. \nAt Row New York\, they pull together—in the boat\, in the classroom\, as a community—to help all rowers push ahead. \nAll skill levels are invited to spend learn the fundamentals of rowing on the water with ROW NY and NYC H2O. \nPaerdegat Basin connects to the larger Jamaica Bay. As a saltwater marsh situated in Canarsie\, it plays a key role in protecting the coastal community from storm surges and erosion. \nThanks to City Council Member Mercedes Narcisse for sponsoring this community building event!
