Not Without a Trace at Fort Tryon park- again!

NYC Parks Department liked my project, Not Without A Trace, at the Cloisters two weekends ago so much that they invited me back for their Earth Day celebration at the entrance to Fort Tryon Park on Fort Washington Ave. I will be near the Javits playground on Sunday, April 25, from 10am - 2pm. This is a great event for kids- of all ages! Come and help make a temporary street mural of the threatened and endangered birds of the metropolitan region.
