Protect New York State

The long summer days allow the treat of an evening walk through
the
Greenburgh Nature Center forest as GNC Naturalist Dean Fausel
introduces us to some of the native trees that grace the preserve.
Dean, who has managed the preserve for over 25 years, will tell of
the
struggles and triumphs of our trees, and the essential roles they
play
in the forest environment. Birches, American Dogwood and Hemlocks
will be among the featured species. Following the walk, Dean and
Anne
Jaffe Holmes will lead a discussion on the challenges faced by trees
in Westchester, and what we can all do to protect and nurture our
canopy makers.
Come ready for a walk in the woods followed by discussion and refreshment.
This is a rain or shine event, so please dress appropriately!
Greenburgh Nature Center (See directions below)
This is a handicapped-accessible location.
This evening’s presentation explores connections between traditional
indigenous knowledge of animals and plants, and the latest studies
in
conservation biology and ecology. From the “herd wisdom” of
wild
buffalo and wild horses to the reciprocal relationship between people
and sweetgrass, this thought-provoking presentation will bring old
answers to our ecological crisis. Professor Tracy Basile, a journalist
and animal welfare consultant, teaches environmental studies at Pace
University in New York. She is working on a book Saving Sacred
Species.

Here’s a great way to help the
environment right now:
Get the
newsletter online.
The Lower Hudson Group posts Terra Firma on the Internet and
you can read it there instead of receiving it in the
mail. We’ll notify you
via e-mail each time a new issue is ready.
There are advantages. Your mailbox will be a little less
cluttered, the Sierra Club will spend a little less money
on printing and distributing newsletters and more on the
environment, and you’ll be able to see your
newsletter the minute it’s ready.
Interested? Send an e-mail message with the
subject line
“Give me Terra Firma on the Web” to pgrove24@gmail.com.
Be sure to include your Member #, which can be found on the
mailing address area on your newsletter or your Sierra
Magazine.
The e-mail address you send from will be the one to which
we will send each new issue notice.
