The Arsenal, NYC Park Headquarters
830 5th Ave. Entrance at 64th & 5th Ave.
A workshop by Grace Markman (Naturalist and Educator)
How do we reach out to involve a wider audience in the importance of native flora?
This workshop will focus on successful strategies that have been utilized to conserve and promote native flora. A power point presentation will be given on innovative projects initiated by both individuals and small groups in New York City and State. Can you initiate a native plant arboretum or create a new plant corridor?
We will consider positive effective ways to involve our local, state and national officials. After this presentation we will divide into small groups to share ideas and generate new ones that can be implemented to address the vital issues of awareness, conservation, and promotion of native flora.
