Leave your fear at the (virtual) door because we’re about to dive into the wild world of Earth’s only flighted mammal. Capable of eating over 1,000 mosquitos an hour and responsible for pollinating our favorite foods like avocados and mangoes, bats are a critical, but threatened, part of our ecosystems worldwide. Join us to find out what makes them so fascinating and how we can protect our nocturnal friends.
Manage fall leaves in a sustainable way that will benefit your yard year after year.
The Green Living Series is brought you to by a partnership between the Croton Conservation Advisory Council and Teatown. Our annual rite of raking, blowing, piling, bagging, and trucking leaves out of residential neighborhoods costs each homeowner hours of time each fall and robs our yards of one of nature’s greatest resources: rich, natural compost. Join Fiona Mitchell from Leave Leaves Alone, Dan Delventhal, owner of Mow Green, and Bruce Laemmel, Croton-based landscaper, to discuss alternate methods of fall lawn care that are beneficial to our yards, pollinators and our health.
For adults.
Walk the woods, read The Raven, and discuss ravens, crows, and vultures as symbols in literature and more. Together we will debunk some common misconceptions about these and other Halloween-related animals. Bring your references and questions for a walk and talk. Afterwards, meet Teatown’s crows and vultures up-close.
For Adults and Teens.
At this most colorful season Hidden Valley is ablaze with color. Join Teatown educator Elissa Schilmeister and discover nature’s treasures along the path.
