Be prepared to encounter thorns/poison ivy/ticks. 
And, please remember drinking water in a reusable water bottle.

We invite everyone to learn more about pond ecology and healthy lawns at IrvingtonGreen.org/land/halsey-pond.

Organized by the Friends of Halsey Pond, in collaboration with the Irvington Green Policy Task Force, the Irvington Woods Committee, the Greater Irvington Land Trust, and the Village of Irvington.

We are striving to make this a zero-waste event (excluding non-native invasives).  Please consider walking to this event. And, don’t forget your reusable water bottle!
