The Why, Where, What and How of Tree Planting at Home
2026-05-14 19:00 - 20:00
Westchester County’s forests are under stress from invasive pests, climate change, deer predation, and development. While park and preserve managers are doing their best to mitigate the damage, it will take the efforts of private landowners to ensure we have a healthy and diverse tree canopy for ourselves and our local wildlife.
In this program, Taro Ietaka will discuss how homeowners can help by planting trees, including which species will do well, tips for planting and pruning, and more.
In addition to being a certified arborist, Taro Ietaka is Westchester County’s Assistant Director of Conservation and the supervisor of Ward Pound Ridge Reservation, the largest park in the County. He has been instrumental in the County’s invasive species management and biodiversity programs. He is the recipient of the New York State Recreation and Parks Society’s 2025 Environmental Stewardship award.

Caregivers Circle
2026-05-19 11:00 - 12:00
This monthly, one hour gathering is for those who are caring for and supporting a loved one alongside an illness or aging, or perhaps have recently lost someone. This is a time just for you, to be in community and connection with others who understand.
The gathering is led by Grief Coach and Educator, Barri Leiner Grant, Founder of The Memory Circle (www.thememorycircle.com) for grief and loss. Barri supports grievers in her work and spent ten years as a caregiver for her father Neil who lived with Alzheimer’s.
Barri encourages attendees to express their feelings and take notice of the beauty in the world through guided writing prompts. As one attendee wrote: “I was intimidated about getting my thoughts and feelings on paper, especially around caregiving. Barri put me at ease with her warmth and honesty. Through guiding prompts and poems I wrote simply and clearly about my feelings. I left with new ideas for connecting with myself and bringing clarity to the challenges I face as a caregiver. I can’t wait for the next session!”
No writing experience necessary. Please register below.
