Highland Park Tour: a Botanical Oasis in the City–an Introduction!

  • meet at Gatehouse 2 400 Reservoir Avenue Rochester, NY, 14620 United States (map)

Join us for a special summer exploration of Highland Park, where we'll celebrate the intersection of environmental stewardship, landscape design, and the visionary work of Frederick Law Olmsted. This unique tour transforms a historic landscape walk into a powerful reflection on urban ecology, conservation, and the critical role of green spaces in our community.

We’ll explore how Olmsted's revolutionary park design served as an early blueprint for environmental thinking—connecting urban communities with nature, promoting sustainability, and creating living ecosystems within city landscapes. Our tour will highlight the park's biodiversity, conservation efforts, and the profound environmental impact of thoughtful landscape architecture.

Our guide, Ron, will share insights from the Highland Park Conservancy, highlighting ongoing conservation efforts and ways individuals can contribute to environmental protection.(www.eventbrite.com/d/ny--rochester/highland-park-conservancy/). (Image courtesy of daytrippingroc.com)
