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.
