URBAN ECOLOGY: BEAVER POND PARK & THE NEWHALLVILLE LEARNING CORRIDOR
Public Welcome Hands-On/How-To Workshop Group Tour Nature Walk/Hike Seed/Plant Sale Free Public Parking
DESCRIPTION: Visit two urban sites in New Haven where welcoming habitat has been created for people, pollinators and other wildlife. First we will visit Urbanscapes Native Plant Nursery and the Newhallville Learning Corridor with Dennis Riordan and Doreen Abubakar, respectively. Then we will go to nearby Beaver Pond Park where Nan Bartow will lead a tour of their habitat gardens including the Urban Oasis. THIS PROGRAM IS FREE AND OPEN TO THE PUBLIC (NO REGISTRATION REQUIRED).
You can support Urbanscapes by purchasing plants available for sale at the nursery. You can also pre-order and pay online to save time at pickup. If you pre-order plants, mention that you will pick them up on July 9. Plant Sale Link: https://menunkatuck.org/plants-for-sale
DIRECTIONS: Meet at Urbanscapes, 133 Hazel St, New Haven (across the street from the Learning Corridor.) Your best bet is to park on Hazel Street (one-way). The entrance to Beaver Ponds Park is on Fournier St near Crescent St in New Haven. We will walk or carpool over from Urbanscapes--the distance is less than 1 mile.
