SUMMARY:Street Tree Care
DESCRIPTION: \n \nJoin your fellow environmentalists as we remove litter and weeds from the tree beds\, cultivate the soil\, and provide water and mulch for street trees in Sunset Park. \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: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.

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.

SUMMARY:After the Funeral: Memorializing Loved Ones
DESCRIPTION:Credit: Sybil Sage\n \n \nAfter the funeral is over\, how do we begin memorializing the precious memories of a loved one? While traditional acts – such as published obituaries\, grave markers\, scrap books\, and stories at the dinner table – are important and relevant\, there are new and exciting ways emerging on how to preserve a person’s life\, wisdom\, and cherished values. \n \nJoin death educator Amy Cunningham for a discussion about capturing the true legacy of a loved one. Over the past several years\, she has worked with hundreds of families to ensure that the rituals around memorializing feel true and right for each family. Learn about creating unique keepsakes\, whether it is the form of textiles\, artwork\, charitable donations\, or readings. She will also explore how digital platforms can provide an ideal space for sharing stories and memories that are easily accessible. Discover what might feel right for your family. \n \nFree to attend\, RSVP recommended. Please register using the Eventbrite box below. \n \nThis program takes place in our Modern Chapel just to the right after passing through the Gothic Arches at the main entrance.  \n \nAll events will take place rain or shine.

SUMMARY:Tree Stewardship
DESCRIPTION: \nTrees New York’s Tree Stewardship Training is designed to train and mobilize New Yorkers so that they can play an active role in supporting the health of our urban forest. Trees New York’s Environmental Educators teach lessons on the value of a healthy urban forest and the importance of volunteer efforts. Following each lesson\, volunteers steward street trees. Trees New York’s Environmental Educators work alongside volunteers to guide their stewardship efforts and answer questions. \nTrees New York works with both youth and adult volunteers and works throughout the five boroughs of New York City. Our target neighborhoods for 2018 include: Greenpoint\, Western Queens and Northern Manhattan.  \nVolunteer stewardship activities include:  \nTree bed clean up and soil cultivation – In addition to being unsightly\, compacted soil and litter block the movement of oxygen\, water and nutrients to tree roots. Volunteers remove litter and weeds from tree beds and loosen up the surface soil with hand cultivators\nWatering Trees – New York City street trees live in permanent drought conditions. All trees\, especially newly planted trees\, need thorough and deep watering during the spring and summer. Volunteers water trees using buckets and hoses. \nMulching – Mulch conserves water\, moderates soil temperatures\, improves soil structure and mitigates damage from dogs\, people\, de-icing salts and cleaning agents. Volunteers mulch trees with mulch or woodchips. \nTree Bed Gardening – Flowers beautify the streetscape\, add enriching organic matter to the soil and help deter people from walking on tree beds. In the spring\, volunteers plant annual flowers such as impatiens\, coleus and begonias and in the fall\, we plant bulbs such as muscari\, crocus and daffodil. \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.

SUMMARY:(Sold Out) Christina and Michelle Naughton: An American in Paris
DESCRIPTION:This event is completely sold out. Select another Angel’s Share event (Concerts in the Catacombs) in the summer series. \nYou may join the waitlist below. \nMake sure you never miss out on tickets again! Green-Wood members get access to tickets weeks before the general public. Join today. \nThe Washington Post writes of twin sister piano duo Christina and Michelle Naughton\, “They have to be heard to be believed.” And indeed\, the pair performs with an almost inconceivably telepathic connection. For The Angel’s Share\, the Naughtons will play a program bookended by Leonard Bernstein\, in celebration of his 100th birthday year (and because his final resting place is but a stone’s throw from the Catacombs). In between\, the sisters will alternate between American and French composers\, including Ravel’s shimmering Ma mère l’Oye and Debussy’s En Blanc et Noir. \nThe Program: Bernstein: “Overture to Candide;” Ravel: Ma mère l’Oye; Nancarrow: Sonatine; Poulenc: Sonata for Four Hands; Bolcom: Recuerdos; Debussy: En Blanc et Noir; Copland: “El Salon” arranged Bernstein  \nThe Performers: Christina Naughton\, piano; Michelle Naughton\, piano \nThe Angel’s Share\, a new series of opera and chamber music concerts\, takes place in Green-Wood’s Catacombs. One of the oldest structures in the 478-acre National Historic Landmark Cemetery\, the Catacombs were built in the 1850s and are normally closed to the public. The series takes its name from the distiller’s term for whiskey that evaporates while maturing in the barrel\, thus going to the angels. \nEach performance includes a pre-concert reception at sunset overlooking New York harbor and the Manhattan skyline. \n$75 for members of Green-Wood and BHS / $80 for non-members \nPLEASE NOTE: Ticketholders must be 21 years or older. \nClick here for our inclement weather policy. \nMobile users: Please tap here to buy tickets.\n\nNot a Member?\nNew or renewing members are entitled to one free tour ticket a year!

SUMMARY:Birding in Peace
DESCRIPTION: \n \n \n \n \nBefore our gates open to the general public\, birding expert Rob Jett leads these peaceful Sunday morning walking tours to discover the birds that make Green-Wood their home – at least temporarily. By September\, offspring of these nesting birds will be on their own. Returning warblers will be in their less flamboyant fall plumage. Large numbers of blackbirds\, flycatchers\, sparrows\, vireos\, and swallows will also be passing through. By October\, waterfowl are returning\, and we’ll look for raptors heading south. November will bring back our overwintering feathered denizens from the north. \n \n$10 for members of Green-Wood and BHS / $15 for non-members \n \nFor this program you will check in at the Gothic Arches\, right at the main entrance. \n \nClick here for our inclement weather policy. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nMobile users: Please tap here to buy tickets.\n \n\nNot a Member?\nClick here for all of our membership levels and information. \nAlready a Member?\nClick the “Enter promotional code here (members\, use your ID#)” link in the bottom right corner of the ticket box and enter your ID number to apply your ticket discount.

SUMMARY:Become a Citizen Pruner
DESCRIPTION:Stewardship and pruning hugely reduce a tree’s vulnerability to common urban threats such as pedestrian and vehicular traffic\, drought and storms. In New York City\, where there is limited funding for tree maintenance but significant need\, Citizen Pruners provides a great asset to our urban environment. Join fellow nature lovers and urbanists to become licensed to take care of NYC’s street trees. \nThe 12-hour Citizen Pruner Course consists of 5 sessions – 4 in the classroom and 1 field outing. \nPrice: $100\, or $15 for residents of Sunset Park (zip codes 11232 and 11220) \nVisit TreesNY website\, www.treesny.org\, for more information and to reserve your space. \nGIVE TREES A CHANCE\nEnvironmental Justice in South Brooklyn\n \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. TreesNY works with both youth and adult volunteers and works throughout the five boroughs of New York City.  \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:Black in Nineteenth-Century Brooklyn
DESCRIPTION:In 1838\, just eleven years after New York State abolished slavery\, a free Black man named James Weeks made his first purchase of land in Brooklyn. In the same year\, Green-Wood Cemetery was established as one of the first rural cemeteries in the United States.  \nThis tour begins with a survey of the many prominent Black New Yorkers and abolitionists laid to rest at the Cemetery\, including Margaret Pine (1778–1857)\, the last woman to have lived as a slave in New York\, Susan Smith McKinney Steward (1847–1918)\, whose family owned land in Weeksville and who became first black female doctor in the state\, and the artist Jean-Michel Basquiat (1959–1988)\, among many others. Then we head to Weeksville Heritage Center in Crown Heights to learn about its history (one of America’s largest free Black communities prior to the Civil War) through the stories of its residents. \n \n$35 for members of Green-Wood and BHS / $40 for non-members \nGreen-Wood trolley tours are fully accessible and ADA compliant.
