Spring Tree Walk: Trees of the NCL
Explore the Naval Cemetery Landscape’s native meadow while learning about 10 street trees and perimeter trees in the landscape.
Learn about ten of the tree species around and inside the Naval Cemetery Landscape and along the Brooklyn Waterfront Greenway. This gardener-led walk will touch on native species as well as a few common but non-native species that you might encounter along Brooklyn greenways and touch on light spring ID of evergreens and deciduous species. Learn how trees support a rich array of life: soil microorganisms, insects, birds, and us! Participants will observe a designed and managed landscape where aesthetics are just one of many components that guide the design and maintenance and learn how plant and management choices affect habitat. Build skills in making observations in natural spaces!
Please note: there is no indoor space at the Naval Cemetery Landscape- please wear layers as spring weather can be unpredictable and dress appropriately for the weather!
