Cunningham Park, Queens County
Trip leader: Andrew Greller
Dr. Greller has been studying the flora and vegetation of Cunningham Park for more than 50 years. On this walk, he will provide a fascinating introduction to the native and naturalized plants of Cunningham Park, one of the richest forests on Long Island and an integral part of Queens County’s emerald necklace of 2800 acres of connected parkland. Andy has published three research papers that include data from Cunningham Park: one on forest flora, one on forest composition, and one on the entire recorded flora of northeastern Queens (ca.750 species). Spring is a delightful time to visit the park as many plants emerge from their winter dormancy.
