Just 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.

$10 for members of Green-Wood and BHS / $15 for non-members

Green-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. Comfortable footwear is recommended.

This event is sold out. Make sure you never miss out on tickets again! Green-Wood members get access to tickets weeks before the general public. Join today.
Come celebrate the winter solstice! Sure, it will be cold and it will get dark at some ridiculously early hour, but our fellow human beings have marked this day with festivities for millennia. Why not join them? Did you ever wonder why pine trees are such a big part of winter celebrations? The tradition dates back to ancient people who believed that evergreen trees had magical powers to stay green and withstand winter? Join evergreen-filled Green-Wood to celebrate the shortest day and longest night of the year.
The evening begins in the cozy Modern Chapel with inspirational readings and a guided meditation to reflect on the passing of one season and beginning of the next. A brief walk through Green-Wood’s wintry landscape stops at Sophie Calle’s installation, Here Lie the Secrets of the Visitors of Green-Wood, before gathering around a small bonfire to warm our hands and toes. Best of all, there will be sweet treats and warm refreshments to share in the spirit of good cheer! Be sure to toss on a hat and gloves.

Wednesday, Dec. 26 at 1 PM: Hidden Gems of Green-Wood

Birding in Peace
2018-04-08 06:30 - 08:00
Before our gates open to the general public, birding expert Rob Jett leads these peaceful Sunday morning walking tours to discover the many birds that call Green-Wood home. Green-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. Comfortable footwear is recommended.

Birds of Early-Spring Migration
Sunday, April 8, 15, 22, & 29 from 6:30 AM to 8:00 AM
Our April tours will be a feast for the ears and eyes with the trilling song of Pine Warblers and drumming pronouncements of Woodpeckers on newly blossoming trees (including magnolias, maples, quinces, and dogwoods). We’ll discover thousands of songbirds resting before their trip north as well as arriving herons & egrets at Green-Wood’s glacial ponds.

Peak Spring Migration Birding
May 5 and 6 (Sat/Sun), 13 (Sun), 19 and 20 (Sat/Sun), & 27 (Sun) from 6:00 AM to 7:30 AM
From Ruby-throated Hummingbirds to over 20 species of colorful wood-warblers, our peak migration tours will feature many of the 163 bird species that have been recorded at Green-Wood during the month of May. Beginning just after sunrise, we will experience spring’s dawn chorus at the active time of day for birds.

Summer Birding Sundays
June & July from 6:00 AM to 7:30 AM (except July 1st)
Sunday August 5th from 6:00 AM to 7:30 AM & August 19th from 6:30 AM to 8:00 AM
In July we should see the offspring of our resident red-tailed hawk bravely preparing to leave the nest. Warbler songs will be replaced by chirring Cicadas and the tweets of fledgling birds. Butterflies and dragonflies are abundant. By late-July, expect the arrival of the first southbound migrants.

Grab a copy of our Bird Checklist before you begin. Comfortable footwear is recommended.

Designing Death
2018-04-14 11:00 - 13:00
Many of us give a lot of thought to the design of our homes. New furniture? New paint? Complete reno? What about designing for our “permanent residences”? Join us for a tour of Green-Wood’s monuments and mausoleums that present distinct artistic styles, including Egyptian Revival, Neoclassical, Art Deco, and Art Nouveau. The tour will have special emphasis on design and historic preservation.

Comfortable shoes are recommended for this walking tour.

$15 for members of Green-Wood and BHS / $20 for non-members.

This program is made possible by the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of Governor Andrew M. Cuomo and the New York State Legislature.
