Wave Hill’s Celebrates Wings over Wave Hill This Fall
Wings over Wave Hill over Four Weekend Days
Bronx, NY, August 25, 2021—An acclaimed public garden and cultural center in the Bronx, Wave Hill’s position above the Hudson River places it prominently along the Atlantic flyway, one of four main flyways in the U.S., used by migrating birds as well as butterflies and some species of bats and dragonflies. It has also prompted Wave Hill to celebrate “Wings over Wave Hill” each fall.
This year, four weekend days will each have a different focus, with public programs that pair well with experiencing the winged creatures in, and high over, the gardens each fall.
Honeybee Day, Sun, September 12, 2021
Program highlights: Family art-making (“We Must Tell the Bees”) and “Open Apiary” sessions with Wave Hill beekeeper Junior Schouten.
Butterfly Day, Sat, September 25, 2021,
