Nature poetry has long been used to express the beauty of the natural world, explore the complex relationships between people and nature, and cultivate people’s senses of place, belonging, and responsibility. Please join one of our CCE nature educators as we read and discuss poetic writings from a diverse set of environmental poets. Then, stay to develop tools to create your own nature poetry, learn more about our local wildlife, and get a chance to write and share your work! This program is primarily targeted towards adults. Paper and writing utensils will be provided; however, you are also welcome to bring your own journal or writing tools.

On September 9th, the NYC Department of Records & Information Services will welcome the Department of Transportation Commissioner, Ydanis Rodriguez, for a live recording of Person Place Thing with Emmy Award winner, Randy Cohen.

Person Place Thing is an interview show based on the idea that people are especially engaging when they speak, not directly about themselves, but about something they care about. Guests share a person, place, and thing they find meaningful. The result: surprising stories from great talkers.

Join us either virtually (via Zoom) or in person (limited seats available).
