Dutchess Land Conservancy and Rheinstrom Hill Audubon Sanctuary & Center
Thursday, September 26, 6:30 to 8:30 PM at the Rheinstrom Hill Audubon Sanctuary & Center
The DLC's Julie Hart and Brian Straniti lead a walk to discover the history of our changing landscapes and how we perceive them.
What is nature? How do we view ourselves within an ecosystem? The timescale of human habitation is a blink of an eye in geological terms, yet great changes have occurred to our environment. The land and waterways in Columbia County tell a rich story from past glacial activity, the gradual formation of soils, the growth of great forests, and of human inhabitance pre- and post-colonization. The DLC's Julie Hart and Brian Straniti will lead a trip through time to examine the ways our landscape has changed and delve into the more recent past to talk about our various perceptions of nature and how they change and are influenced.
