Join the Urban Park Rangers in Inwood Hill Park on an exploration of the forest from fungal networks that live out of sight in the soil to towering canopies that are hundreds of years old. Learn how wildlife, plants, and all the micro ecosystems of the forest collaborate to persevere through major climactic change and join in on a discussion considering the wisdom that these woodlands hold in the future of New York City's green spaces.
Through performance, discussion, and demonstration, these internationally acclaimed artists, explore the rich, cultural traditions that gave rise to an American indigenous art form.
