Learn about the ecological history of the Bushwick Inlet

Ever wanted to learn about the ecological history of the Bushwick Inlet area?

Well, here’s your chance.

On Wednesday, November 14 at 7 p.m., Dr. Eric Sanderson of the Wildlife Conservation Society is discussing his latest research of historical ecology of the inlet.

The talk will put into context the nature goals for the city, and how everyday people can help improve the future ecology of their neighborhoods.

Here’s a brief description from the event page:

“Given the rush to develop the East River shore, one might think the high rises sprouting like mushrooms are inevitable, even natural, but that would be to misread the long-term history of this precious and productive part of the shore. There were times when reeds were more populous than people and migrating waterfowl rather than millennials flocked to Greenpoint. Although those times may be passed, the ecology of that time helps us understand what the future could be.”

The event will be hosted at A/D/O, located at 29 Norman Avenue. RSVP on the Eventbrite page here.
