Throughout the seasons, Central Park plays host to a wide diversity of life forms, including birds, trees, wildflowers, and insects. While many residents and visitors alike enjoy the Park as a place of active recreation and passive relaxation, it is the birders and botanists, entomologists, urban naturalists, and nature lovers who—through their observations and study—deeply engage with the Park as a living green space. Through photography and illustration, Ken Chaya’s presentation will highlight some of the magnificent landscape and local flora and fauna that can be found in Central Park, the wild green heart of Manhattan.
