CUNNINGHAM PARK -BOTANICAL WALK

Date & Time: Sunday, May 15, 10:00 - 11:30 AM

Location:  Meet at the Wallenberg Square which is located at the southwest corner of Park Lane South and Metropolitan Avenue in Kew Gardens.

Trip leader: Michael Feder, Torrey Botanical Society
 
Designed by Frederick Olmsted in the 1890s, Forest Park is the third largest park in Queens. We will get a last look at some fading spring ephemerals, visit some oddball plant populations, see a restoration site that was formerly a stand of the invasive Norway maple  and find good representation from the parsley (Apiaceae) family. If you'd like to do some bird watching before or after the walk, bring binoculars. Forest Park is an excellent place to view migrating warblers.
 
Directions: Take the Grand Central Parkway or Van Wyck Expressway to the Jackie Robinson Parkway. Get off at exit 6, Metropolitan Avenue. Make a left onto Metropolitan Avenue. Wallenberg Square will be about ¼ mile down the road on your right at the intersection with Park Lane South.
