Living Landscape at Pocantico: Honoring the Past, Innovating the Future
Friday, September 13, 2024 01:00 PM - 05:00 PM
Over time, humans have coevolved with the landscape, our path shaped by our environment and the natural resources available to us, as we in turn molded our environment to suit the growing needs of our society. In the wake of a rapidly changing climate, we are faced with the challenge of building and landscaping in ways that are adaptive and regenerative. Join us for this special event in partnership with the Rockefeller Brothers Fund and Mathews Nielsen Landscape Architects, P.C. (MNLA) to learn about sustainable practices being implemented at The Pocantico Center. Preserve educator, Kim Fendrich, will provide geologic context for our area, followed by a presentation on climate-adaptive landscaping by Signe Nielsen, Founding Principal, MNLA. We'll finish with an optional walk to observe the landscape architecture and geological features throughout the grounds of The Pocantico Center. Refreshments will be served.
