SUMMARY:Exit Strategy: Community Days
DESCRIPTION:Green-Wood’s artist in residence Adam Tendler invites you to contribute to his upcoming installation Exit Strategy (opening June 2024). Exit Strategy is a site specific installation in Green-Wood’s Fort Hamilton Gatehouse that interrogates the complex relationship between grief and personal identity\, creating an immersive environment that meditates on how we attach ourselves to memories and physical objects\, and the possibilities for letting them go. The installation will incorporate content contributed by members of the Green-Wood community\, like you.   \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPrice: Free.  \n\n\n\n\n\nIn-Person Event(see details below)\n\n\n\n\n\nThere are few ways to participate: \n\n\n\n\nAt the Cemetery: Visit the artist’s studio in the Fort Hamilton Gatehouse on March 30th\, April 27th\, or May 11th between 11:00 am–3:00 pm where you may: (1) write a reflection about someone you have lost or where you are in your  life (think  journal entry) and/or (2) contribute a memento belonging to a departed loved one (We recommend an article of clothing).* \n\n\n\nFrom Anywhere: Send a recording or voice memo of yourself sharing about people you have lost and/or your current emotional state to the email address exitstrategy@green-wood.com.* \n\n\n\n\nThese community days are presented as part of Green-Wood’s Death Education programming\, through which we aim to grow closer to death\, dying\, grief\, and loss in healthy and community-driven ways. As music is our universal language\, death is one of the great universal truths; we will come together to sit with both of them as we process our individual grief and participate in honoring our collective grief.  \n\n\n\n* All submitted materials will be incorporated into the artist’s work either visually or sonically\, and the final piece will open to the public in June. All submissions will be kept anonymous\, are final\, and cannot be returned. Materials will be destroyed or removed\, along with the artist’s work\, in a public ceremony that culminates the exhibit.  \n\n\n\nThe Fort Hamilton Gatehouse is located just inside Green-Wood’s Fort Hamilton Parkway Entrance (Fort Hamilton Parkway and Micieli Place). It is an approximately 10 minute walk from the Fort Hamilton F and G Train Station.

SUMMARY:Birding in Peace
DESCRIPTION:Credit: Evan Rabeck\n\n\n\n\n\nBefore our gates open to the general public\, birding expert Rob Jett leads these peaceful early morning walking tours to discover the many birds that make Green-Wood their home—at least temporarily. Green-Wood’s official birding checklist will be made available to all attendees\, or you can print it in advance here. \n\n\n\nAnd depending when you stop by\, you may see a variety of different species passing through: \n\n\n\n\n\nPrice: $20\, $15 for members \n\n\n\n\n\n\nGet Tickets\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWalking Tour(see details below)\n\n\n\n\n\nEarly Spring Migration (April) \n\n\n\nOur 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 farther north as well as arriving herons and egrets at Green-Wood’s glacial ponds. \n\n\n\nPeak Spring Migration (May to mid-June) \n\n\n\nFrom ruby-throated hummingbirds to over twenty 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 most active time of day for birds. \n\n\n\nSummer Birding (Late June to August) \n\n\n\nIn 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. \n\n\n\nPlease note that if only 1 ticket shows as available during the purchase process that is the last ticket available. \n\n\n\nBefore Purchasing A Ticket\, Please Note:\n\n\n\n\nAttendees must follow ALL instructions and guidance from Cemetery staff and ambassadors.\n\n\n\nTickets: There is no need to print tickets!

SUMMARY:Birding in Peace
DESCRIPTION:Credit: Evan Rabeck\n\n\n\n\n\nBefore our gates open to the general public\, birding expert Rob Jett leads these peaceful early morning walking tours to discover the many birds that make Green-Wood their home—at least temporarily. Green-Wood’s official birding checklist will be made available to all attendees\, or you can print it in advance here. \n\n\n\nAnd depending when you stop by\, you may see a variety of different species passing through: \n\n\n\n\n\nPrice: $20\, $15 for members \n\n\n\n\n\n\nGet Tickets\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWalking Tour(see details below)\n\n\n\n\n\nEarly Spring Migration (April) \n\n\n\nOur 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 farther north as well as arriving herons and egrets at Green-Wood’s glacial ponds. \n\n\n\nPeak Spring Migration (May to mid-June) \n\n\n\nFrom ruby-throated hummingbirds to over twenty 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 most active time of day for birds. \n\n\n\nSummer Birding (Late June to August) \n\n\n\nIn 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. \n\n\n\nPlease note that if only 1 ticket shows as available during the purchase process that is the last ticket available. \n\n\n\nBefore Purchasing A Ticket\, Please Note:\n\n\n\n\nAttendees must follow ALL instructions and guidance from Cemetery staff and ambassadors.\n\n\n\nTickets: There is no need to print tickets!

We’ll discover thousands of songbirds resting before their trip farther north as well as arriving herons and egrets at Green-Wood’s glacial ponds. \n\n\n\nPeak Spring Migration (May to mid-June) \n\n\n\nFrom ruby-throated hummingbirds to over twenty 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 most active time of day for birds. \n\n\n\nSummer Birding (Late June to August) \n\n\n\nIn 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. \n\n\n\nPlease note that if only 1 ticket shows as available during the purchase process that is the last ticket available. \n\n\n\nBefore Purchasing A Ticket\, Please Note:\n\n\n\n\nAttendees must follow ALL instructions and guidance from Cemetery staff and ambassadors.\n\n\n\nTickets: There is no need to print tickets!

SUMMARY:Birding in Peace
DESCRIPTION:Credit: Evan Rabeck\n\n\n\n\n\nBefore our gates open to the general public\, birding expert Rob Jett leads these peaceful early morning walking tours to discover the many birds that make Green-Wood their home—at least temporarily. Green-Wood’s official birding checklist will be made available to all attendees\, or you can print it in advance here. \n\n\n\nAnd depending when you stop by\, you may see a variety of different species passing through: \n\n\n\n\n\nPrice: $20\, $15 for members \n\n\n\n\n\n\nGet Tickets\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWalking Tour(see details below)\n\n\n\n\n\nEarly Spring Migration (April) \n\n\n\nOur 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 farther north as well as arriving herons and egrets at Green-Wood’s glacial ponds. \n\n\n\nPeak Spring Migration (May to mid-June) \n\n\n\nFrom ruby-throated hummingbirds to over twenty 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 most active time of day for birds. \n\n\n\nSummer Birding (Late June to August) \n\n\n\nIn 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. \n\n\n\nPlease note that if only 1 ticket shows as available during the purchase process that is the last ticket available. \n\n\n\nBefore Purchasing A Ticket\, Please Note:\n\n\n\n\nAttendees must follow ALL instructions and guidance from Cemetery staff and ambassadors.\n\n\n\nTickets: There is no need to print tickets!

The route includes several steep hills\, some stairs\, as well as grassy and uneven terrain. There is no place to sit down during the tour.

SUMMARY:Exit Strategy: Community Days
DESCRIPTION:Green-Wood’s artist in residence Adam Tendler invites you to contribute to his upcoming installation Exit Strategy (opening June 2024). Exit Strategy is a site specific installation in Green-Wood’s Fort Hamilton Gatehouse that interrogates the complex relationship between grief and personal identity\, creating an immersive environment that meditates on how we attach ourselves to memories and physical objects\, and the possibilities for letting them go. The installation will incorporate content contributed by members of the Green-Wood community\, like you.   \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPrice: Free.  \n\n\n\n\n\nIn-Person Event(see details below)\n\n\n\n\n\nThere are few ways to participate: \n\n\n\n\nAt the Cemetery: Visit the artist’s studio in the Fort Hamilton Gatehouse on March 30th\, April 27th\, or May 11th between 11:00 am–3:00 pm where you may: (1) write a reflection about someone you have lost or where you are in your  life (think  journal entry) and/or (2) contribute a memento belonging to a departed loved one (We recommend an article of clothing).* \n\n\n\nFrom Anywhere: Send a recording or voice memo of yourself sharing about people you have lost and/or your current emotional state to the email address exitstrategy@green-wood.com.* \n\n\n\n\nThese community days are presented as part of Green-Wood’s Death Education programming\, through which we aim to grow closer to death\, dying\, grief\, and loss in healthy and community-driven ways. As music is our universal language\, death is one of the great universal truths; we will come together to sit with both of them as we process our individual grief and participate in honoring our collective grief.  \n\n\n\n* All submitted materials will be incorporated into the artist’s work either visually or sonically\, and the final piece will open to the public in June. All submissions will be kept anonymous\, are final\, and cannot be returned. Materials will be destroyed or removed\, along with the artist’s work\, in a public ceremony that culminates the exhibit.  \n\n\n\nThe Fort Hamilton Gatehouse is located just inside Green-Wood’s Fort Hamilton Parkway Entrance (Fort Hamilton Parkway and Micieli Place). It is an approximately 10 minute walk from the Fort Hamilton F and G Train Station.
