If you think you need to travel to somewhere rural and remote to enjoy Nature, you’ve never visited Brooklyn Bridge Park. Built on a series of concrete shipping piers on the Brooklyn shore of New York’s East River, this 85-acre landscape has reworked salvaged materials into a series of thriving, vibrant ecosystems. The park’s Director of Horticulture, Rebecca McMackin, details the process of inviting wildlife into a built environment, and how this organically maintained landscape recycles everything, including stormwater, to keep the landscape sustainable as well as green and lush. Join us for the conversation.
