While taking in the beauty of this iconic park’s woodlands, waterways, wildlife, and landmarks, explore the fascinating layers of natural and human history, from the flora and geology, to the architectural eras visible in the built environment, to the past and present of recreation and play. Explore how use of the park has changed over time, from the original vision of designers Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux, to projects underway today that support environmental conservation, historic preservation, and recreational and cultural access for Brooklynites and visitors alike.

Green-Wood Cemetery

 

 

What a beautiful walk we had at Green-Wood on Sunday for our first Nature Walk for Neighbors with Dementia. The morning rain cleared out into a beautiful afternoon for a stroll in nature. Our guide, Ari, was terrific and introduced us to some of the amazing trees at Green-Wood, including a taste of redbud blossoms. We wandered beautiful paths and saw some wildlife too.
