One of my main pet peeves is people thinking the non-native European honeybee is the only bee in the U.S. We have 4,000 native species! Today, on #WorldBeeDay, take a moment to give them some R-E-S-P-E-C-T! @LizLangley has the story for @natgeo nationalgeographic.com/animals/articl…

Adam Ganser's @NYCCouncil testimony called out the hypocrisy in the mayor's stated commitment to Parks/subsequent disinvestment: “This budget will reduce @NYCParks by 700 jobs, resulting in an even more depleted agency & exacerbating inequities @NYCMayor has sought to solve.”

Tomorrow, 5/21, join the Urban Park Rangers for a community science event based on a species older than the dinosaurs: horseshoe crabs! Gather data as these crabs take to NYC’s shores for nesting season while learning how we protect this ancient species: on.nyc.gov/3K9wxA5


Tips for identifying #dogwoods: Cornus florida / Flowering Dogwood vs Cornus kousa / Kousa Dogwood. You can find both species in #WashingtonSquarePark. Use the @nycparks Tree Map to find these dogwoods in your neighborhood. Alt text: text and images to identifying 2 dogwoods.
