Join artist-researcher Kyle Barnes of Chimeras Collective in a leaf-walk through Prospect Park. In early May, this ecosystem is mid-exhale — bud scales dropping, new leaves unfurling, the forest mid-becoming. Together, we’ll move through Brooklyn’s last remaining forest, attending to the leafing out of some of the park’s 193 tree species. Come ready to go slow, get low, and learn some of the stories leaves can tell us about transition and flourishing.
Bring comfortable shoes and a small bag for collecting leaf specimens, optionally a journal. We’ll be outside for approximately 90 minutes, rain or shine.
Accessibility
Nearby public transit is the Grand Army Plaza 2/3 and CitiBike stations. This walk will go through the Prospect Park forest, and is not wheelchair accessible. We'll be moving at a relaxed pace outside for approx. 90min.
Location Information
RSVP is required and capacity is limited. Meeting location, ending location, and directions will be provided via email before walk date.
