Join in on another Pay-What-You-Can Walk! Everyone welcome! No experience necessary! No one will be turned for lack of funds! Bring your kids! Dogs are welcome too!
Weather Permitting, I am hoping to get a chance to see many familiar faces and welcome new members at New York City's most famous green-space: Central Park!!
During this walk I will share background on local plants, wildlife, fungi, as well as any herbal uses and folklore of what we may encounter along the way! This format allows for discussion between ourselves, and you are invited to share your own knowledge of plants and how to use them.
Created in the late 1800's, Central Park has become home to countless native and not-so-native species!
