Ramblin' in the Ramble
Wednesday, June 12th, 6:15pm-7:45pm
Entering the Ramble in Central Park is like stepping through a secret garden gate and emerging into a whole new dimension. Mere steps from the buzzing activity of the Boathouse and Bethesda Terrace lies what Frederick Law Olmsted called his 'wild garden'. Winding pathways and trickling brooks make you feel a world away from the sights and sounds of traffic (both human and motorized). The area's rocky crags and woodlands also help make it the most famous birding area of the park.
Explore the Ramble with Landmark West and NYC naturalist and author Leslie Day on this unique natural history tour. A walk with Leslie always reveals so much more than you might uncover on your own--we'll "dig down" to learn about the trees, birds, herbaceous plants and even the human history of this precious park habitat.
