Chat with Wave Hill educators about the living things that make their home in Wave Hill’s trees, woodland, and gardens. Always wondered about the pollinators, birds, and other wildlife found in the garden? Get your questions answered here! 

Registration is not required. Drop in anytime during the event. Questions? Please email us at information@wavehill.org or call 718.549.3200 x251. 

This event takes place on a flat grassy area accessible via flat, paved paths that run along the edge of the Great Lawn. This station is fully accessible in good weather. In case of rain, it will move to Wave Hill House, which is fully accessible to all our visitors. The building is located along a paved route with moderate changes in grade.
