Chipmunk (Pelham Bay Park)
Chipmunks and squirrels are common to the parks of New York City. In fact they help determine the overall density and diversity of trees and plants by selectively feeding on berries and nuts. Gray squirrels in particular dominate the environmental landscape and also help shape the urban vegetation patterns.
About Our Art Prints
Signed art prints donated by three extraordinary artists are available for purchase in our art prints store, to support the programs we are engaged in. The prints include, among others, "Last Turn Your Turn" created by Robert Rauschenberg for the Earth Summit, Christo sketches of "The Gates,” a public art event by Christo and his wife Jeanne Claude that drew millions to Central Park, and "Manifest Destiny," by Alexis Rockman, showing New York City underwater in the future as a result of climate change.
