Join Upper Manhattan Forest Kids & NYC Parks for an Earth Day workshop! Foraging As A Metaphor is a walking class that will identify edible and medicinal plants in our local parks and green spaces and use sketching to deepen relationships. Sketching plants is an effective method for increasing familiarization due to the keen process of seeing when sketching.
Ages 7-12 years old. Sketch supplies will be provided.
This program is free and open to the public. For accessibility information, contact ollie.demeio@parks.nyc.gov or 212-795-1388.
