-
- Arts
To follow this walk in Van Cortlandt Park, head to the entrance of the park at 246th Street and Broadway. Before you begin the walk, open this google map to help orient you and guide your steps. The Tree & I is an audio CALL/WALK led by artist Artist Nicolás Dumit Estévez and Van Cortlandt Park Alliance environmental project manager John Butler. As you listen to the Tree & I, you will be guided through a section of the Park, entering at 246th street and passing along the parade grounds and Van Cortlandt house to the Wolf Tree. The walk then travels to the wet meadow and on to Van Cortlandt Lake, where Tibbetts Brook enters the Broadway Sewer. Estévez guides a series of meditations to connect listeners to natural life around them. Butler contextualizes these meditations with insight into the local ecosystem and history of the park. This walk can be listened to anywhere, but is best experienced within Van Cortlandt Park.

CALL/WALKS are a series of artist-led public programs that engage urban residents on the streets of their communities to explore the nature that is in action all around them. These walks brainstorm ways artists, scientists, and communities can work together to meet urgent environmental challenges impacting climate, health, and equity. This walk is a part of a constellation of public programs and artists projects that advocate for and engage the community in daylighting Tibbetts Brook.
