SUMMARY:Dead Distillers Trolley Tour
DESCRIPTION: \nGreen-Wood is teaming up with our friends at Kings County Distillery to delve into the storied past of distilling in Brooklyn. The afternoon kicks off with a trolley tour of the cemetery’s “permanent residents” with whiskey connections\, including the one and only casualty of the Brooklyn Whiskey Wars of the late 1860s and early 1870s. Afterward\, the trolley will head to Kings County Distillery in the Brooklyn Navy Yard where visitors will see first-hand how whiskey is made and enjoy a tasting of four delectable varieties. \n \nThis tour is based upon the newly published book “Dead Distillers: A History of the Upstarts and Outlaws who Made American Spirits” by Colin Spoelman\, co-founder and Master Distiller at Kings County Distillery. Copies of the book will be available for purchase at the distillery. \n \nYou must be 21 or older to participate in this tour; I.D. required. \n \n$35 for members of Green-Wood and BHS / $40 for non-members \n \nGreen-Wood trolley tours are fully accessible and ADA compliant.

SUMMARY:Birding in Peace
DESCRIPTION: \nJust because it’s winter\, doesn’t mean that there aren’t interesting birds to discover in Green-Wood. For some bird species that migrate south after the breeding season\, Brooklyn is their Miami during the cold months. Spend the early morning exploring the cemetery\, looking for overwintering waterfowl\, nuthatches\, woodpeckers\, sparrows\, finches and any half-hardy birds that decided to stick around. By February we’ll see some of the early north-bound birds beginning to trickle back into the area. \n \n$10 for members of Green-Wood and BHS / $15 for non-members \n \nGreen-Wood’s official birding checklist is available to pick up from the security guard at the main entrance on 25th Street or to print here.

SUMMARY:Death Café
DESCRIPTION:The Death Café is inspired by the centuries-old European salon (or café)\, an informal gathering to discuss philosophical\, political or scientific ideas. In 2011\, British entrepreneur Jon Underwood brought this concept to discussions of the most universal topic of all: death. Underwood’s intention was to provide an opportunity to “increase awareness of death with a view to helping people make the most of their lives.” Today\, there are over 4\,400 Death Cafes in 26 countries around the world. \nGreen-Wood is proud to host monthly gatherings of the Death Café here in our beautiful\, modern chapel. Amy Cunningham\, death educator and creator of the Brooklyn-based blog TheInspiredFuneral.com\, invites participants to share their thoughts and feelings on death. It’s an opportunity for safe and open exchanges\, without an agenda. Tea and light snacks are provided. \n“A place for people to discuss our inevitable fate.” – Gothamist \n“It’s a reversal for American culture\, which for a long time has shied away from these conversations.” – Village Voice \n“[E]ncouraging people to talk about death more freely and naturally.” – Haaretz \nFree to attend\, RSVP recommended. Please register using the Eventbrite box below. \nThis program takes place in our Modern Chapel just to the right after passing through the Gothic Arches at the main entrance.

SUMMARY:Winter Street Tree Care Workshop
DESCRIPTION: \nJoin Ashleigh Pettus\, Operations Manager for Trees New York\, and learn how to care for your street trees and help them thrive. Topics discussed will include watering\, mulching\, and tree bed gardening. We will also discuss why street trees are important to the urban environment. Click here to register directly for this day’s program. \n \nThe meeting location is Green-Wood’s Modern Chapel\, right off of the main entrance. \n \n*** \nGive Trees a Chance: Environmental Justice in South Brooklyn  \nGreen-Wood’s own neighborhood\, Sunset Park\, is one of the fastest growing and most diverse neighborhoods in all of New York City. Yet\, it also faces serious environmental challenges. Car and truck exhaust from the Gowanus Expressway and industrial emissions from its small manufacturers create higher than average levels of harmful air pollution. Street trees to the rescue! They’re nature’s miracle workers: they intercept and absorb storm water runoff\, provide oxygen\, fight climate change\, and lower air temperatures. \nThe 6\,500 street trees of Sunset Park have a job to do. And they need all the help they can get! Together with TreesNY\, Green-Wood’s horticulture staff is training a team of tree advocates! If you care about the environment\, join us. Visit TreesNY’s website\, www.treesny.org\, for more information and to RSVP for these free programs. \nFunding for this project is provided by the NYS Environmental Protection Fund as administered by the Environmental Justice Community Impact Grant Program of the NYS Department of Environmental Conservation.

SUMMARY:Furnishing a Tomb in Ancient Egypt
DESCRIPTION:Lid from a Sarcophagus\, ca. 1292-1075 B.C.E. Terracotta\, pigment\, 24 x 17 x 8 1/2 in.\, 40 lb. (61 x 43.2 x 21.6 cm\, 18.14kg). Brooklyn Museum\, Charles Edwin Wilbour Fund\, 37.1518E. Creative Commons-BY (Photo: Brooklyn Museum\, 37.1518E_PS1.jpg)\nAncient Egyptian kings like Tutankhamun could have anything he wanted for his tomb. But the king’s subjects\, ordinary middle-class Egyptians\, were forced to make choices about the objects they included in their tombs. They wanted to guarantee their entrance to the next world\, but they simply could not afford everything that royalty had. This lecture explores how Egyptians furnished their tombs on a budget. Their strategies included choosing cheaper materials\, combining two or more necessary objects into one item\, or even buying a coffin second hand. Examples of all these strategies will be illustrated and explained. \n \nThis evening is presented in partnership with Morbid Anatomy. \n \nEdward Bleiberg is Senior Curator of Egyptian Art at the Brooklyn Museum. He joined the Museum in 1998 from the University of Memphis\, Institute of Egyptian Art and Archaeology\, where he had been Director and Associate Professor. A Pittsburgh native\, he graduated from Haverford College in Pennsylvania. Dr. Bleiberg received an M.A. and Ph.D. from the University of Toronto. He is the author of several books and articles on the ancient Egyptian economy\, Egyptian coffins\, and the Jewish minority in ancient Egypt and ancient Rome. Exhibitions that Dr. Bleiberg has organized for Brooklyn include Jewish Life in Ancient Egypt\, Tree of Paradise: Jewish Mosaics from the Roman Empire\, To Live Forever: Egyptian Treasures from the Brooklyn Museum\, Soulful Creatures: Animal Mummies from ancient Egypt and Striking Power: Iconoclasm in Ancient Egypt. \n \n$5 for members of Green-Wood and BHS / $10 for non-members \n \nThis program takes place in our Modern Chapel just to the right after passing through the Gothic Arches at the main entrance.

SUMMARY:The Art of the Condolence Letter
DESCRIPTION:We all struggle to find the right words. We want to convey sympathy\, admiration\, and support. And we want to express ourselves as well as possible. Why not take inspiration from another time? Condolence letters of the nineteenth century\, when death was ever present\, were mainstays of life—missives of comfort written straight from the heart. Death educator Amy Cunningham will lead a practical guide to crafting messages that heal and knowing what’s best left unsaid. Along the way\, she’ll share condolences written by luminaries including Thomas Jefferson\, Emily Dickinson\, Queen Victoria\, Marcel Proust\, and Ernest Hemingway.  \n \nFree to attend\, RSVP recommended.
