Spring in the Orchard at Lindenwald (Tours)

Tours at 10:15, 11:15, 1:15, and 2:15

In the second of a monthly 6-part Seasons at Lindenwald series facilitated by the Farmscape Ecology Program, Anna and Kyle will be leading tours of the recently restored historic orchard at Lindenwald highlighting spring happenings, including in two second-year native wildflower plots within the orchard. The tours will provide an opportunity to learn how Hawthorne Valley Farmscape Ecology Program biologists are working to monitor the ecology of the organically managed orchard over time, including the impact on pollinators and other insects. Participants will also have an opportunity to closely observe the young apple and pear trees and learn about what historical records tell us about these varieties, and when they were flowering, during Martin Van Buren’s time. No registration is needed and people are welcome to stop by for any of the tour times.
