Rewild Your Yard
August 12, 2025 @ 5:30 pm
Join us for an illustrated talk by naturalist Murray Fisher to learn about his effort to “rewild” half of his yard in Westchester County and the transformation experience it has been for him and his family.
WHEN: Tuesday, August 12, 2025
TIME: 5:30 pm
PLACE: In person at the FI Library
At 60 million acres, the American lawn is the largest and most intensely managed “crop”. Murray’s goal is to help others see the immense opportunity these lawns provide for not only creating habitat for wildlife and sequestering carbon but for fostering deep connections to the natural world.
Murray is the co-founder of the New York Harbor School and the Billion Oyster Project, a Trustee of the H.L. Ferguson Museum, and a partner in Plan it Wild.
The program is co-hosted by the Fishers Island Library.
