Members-only Workshop: Birding with Heather Wolf: A Workshop on Bird Identification with Heather Wolf
Saturday, May 2, 2026 8:00 AM- 11:00 AM

Join acclaimed birder and author Heather Wolf for an inspiring and hands-on birding workshop, Birding with Heather Wolf: Identification in Action.

Heather, author of Birding at the Bridge: In Search of Every Bird on the Brooklyn Waterfront, brings her deep knowledge and infectious enthusiasm to this immersive experience designed for both budding and seasoned birders.
We’ll kick things off with a dynamic session covering practical must-knows for bird
identification—think key field marks, behaviors, habitats, and calls. Heather will share expert tips and tools to help you confidently ID birds in our urban landscapes.

Then, put your new skills to the test on a guided birding tour led by Heather herself. We’ll explore the diverse landscape of Brooklyn Bridge Park, aiming to identify as many species as possible. You’ll get real-time guidance on how to spot and distinguish birds by sight and sound, while deepening your connection to local wildlife and ecosystems.

Whether you’re just picking up binoculars or looking to level up your birding game, this workshop promises to be insightful, interactive, and a lot of fun. Come curious, and leave with a sharper eye, a tuned-in ear, and a whole new appreciation for the birds around you.

Soil animal communities are composed of a rich assemblage of decomposers, predators, and plant pests. As professor of Soil and Turfgrass Entomology at Cornell University, Professor Wickings is interested in improving our basic knowledge of soil invertebrates and applying this knowledge to help minimize damage by root-feeding pests while simultaneously preserving the biodiversity and function of soil food webs.

In his presentation, Professor Wickings will speak about the major turfgrass insect pests that can be found in urban greenspaces. He will review the potential for turfgrasses in urban greenspaces to host beneficial soil organisms and discuss the impacts of pesticides on beneficial soil organisms and their role in soil health. You will be introduced to best practices for monitoring and decision-making to effectively manage soil dwelling insects without impacting beneficial soil organisms. Lastly, you will learn the current status of invasive jumping worms, their impacts on soil and plant health, and best practices for preventing their spread in greenspaces.

We want to hear from you! What role do gardeners, horticulturists, landscapers, and educators play in improving our industry?
Join us for an immersive, gardener-centered workshop focused on taking our thriving industry to the next level. Breakout groups will tackle core topics, including labor, landscape maintenance, and material use. Dedicated facilitators will ensure that all voices are heard.

Collaborate with colleagues across the field by sharing personal and industry-wide goals and obstacles. Help answer questions, including: What new practices are improving outcomes for emerging and long-term horticultural professionals, business owners, parks, gardens, and our region? What opportunities and challenges have workers encountered when trying to implement new practices?
