Croton Aqueduct (near Quaker Bridge Road)

 

Join the Friends of the Old Croton Aqueduct, local volunteers, and naturalists to celebrate I Love My Park Day. Volunteers will be removing invasive plants, lopping tree-strangling vines, removing trash, and, in some locations, planting native plants. You may even have the opportunity to learn how to identify invasive species and the best ways to manage them. We have experienced crew leaders so volunteers will be in great hands.

Croton Free Library

 

Mark your calendars for May 7 & 8, when the familiar facade of the Library will become a digital canvas! After sunset, Croton artist Motomichi Nakamura will transform the facade of the Library with a digital art installation. His creative projections transform our familiar local surroundings with monsters — multifaceted creatures who are simultaneously monstrous and endearing; mysterious and playful. Free, outdoors, and open to all! Bring your mask and stay socially distanced while you enjoy the exhibit. To see more of Motomichi’s work in Croton and beyond, check out his current exhibition with nowhere-nyc.
