*Presenter: Andrea Parker* Location: Brooklyn Public Library Central Branch <http://www.bklynlibrary.org/locations/central> at Grand Army Plaza Our speaker will be Andrea Parker, the Executive Director of the Gowanus Canal Conservancy. She will discuss the complex urban ecology of Brooklyn's Gowanus Canal and watershed, including cleanup, recent development pressure, and the effects of climate change. All of the GCC programs, from manually turning compost to discussing community vision for the Gowanus Greenscape, build towards their goals of an open, clean and alive Canal and watershed. How is the GCC facilitating citizen stewardship of the watershed? Andrea is a landscape architect with a background in horticulture, with a passion for regenerating urban infrastructure.
