SUMMARY:Fungi and Plants: An Essential Romance
DESCRIPTION:Fungi and plants are ideal life partners\, there is evidence that they may have even facilitated each other’s move onto land over a billion years ago. Fungi take in oxygen\, releasing carbon dioxide\, while breaking down rock and organic matter to release nutrients essential for plants to grow. Plants recycle the carbon dioxide\, releasing oxygen\, while photosynthesizing to produce carbon sugars which they share with fungi so that both plants and fungi can flourish. There are a multitude of interesting relationships\, each of which is unique. Join us with educator Luke Sarrantonio as we peel back the curtain and take a peek at these amazing organisms and the fascinating connections they rely on to survive and thrive. Also\, learn about ways we can facilitate these relationships to influence the health of the ecosystems that we live in and gardens that we tend to. \nLuke Sarrantonio (website – instagram) grew up in a small rural town in the upper Hudson Valley/Catskill Region (about 2 hours north of NYC) and spent much of his childhood exploring the fascinating interwoven ecosystems that make up this unique natural landscape. In college at SUNY ESF he was blessed to work under some truly inspiring minds in the world of Life Sciences and Mycology (study of fungi). Following his passion through travels in the Pacific Northwest and work on a shiitake farm in the finger lakes region of New York\, he eventually landed back in the Hudson Valley. Currently he is working to develop education programming and mushroom based products under the name Mycophilic: for the love of Fungi. \nThis will be a Zoom meeting. Free registration required.

SUMMARY:Where's Our Park? Rally
DESCRIPTION:We are calling on the City of New York to create a funding plan for the entirety of Bushwick Inlet Park that will include line items in the coming fiscal year budget. \nIn 2016 Mayor de Blasio made history with his incredible rescue of the CitiStorage property from private sale. Since then all 27 acres of Bushwick Inlet Park lay in the taxpayers’ hands and 4 more acres are in development into usable park space. However\, no funds been budgeted towards developing the remaining two-thirds of the park. Meanwhile the Department of City Planning recently reported that North Brooklyn created the most new housing units in the entire city. 20\,000 units! Thousands more are in development now. 16 years ago the City promised to create 27-acre Bushwick Inlet Park to help mitigate against this massive increase in neighborhood density\, for our health. But\, only 10 acres are in the works or open. This is all the while our district open space ratio is stuck at .6 acres per 1\,000 residents well below the city average of 1.8 acres. \nThe fiscal year 2022 budget is in the final stretch. We demand the City follow through on its commitment to fund the rest of the park. \nJoin us for a Where’s Our Park? Rally to amplify this demand. Our local elected representatives have got the ball rolling with a letter to the mayor.  See you there! \n\n\n @bushwickinletpark  \n#wheresourpark #deblasio #bushwickinletpark #nycmayorsoffice \n ♬ original sound – Friends of Bushwick Inlet Park
