| Details | SITE NO. 1: OASIS, ABANDONED Saturday June 15 3 – 5pm Quinnipiac River State Park 10 Banton St, North Haven Street parking at park entrance Check out an incredible floodplain forest and site of a former neighborhood, now evacuated due to increased flooding. CT River Advocates’ Mary Mushinsky will tell the story. Join as we learn and draw together! — Quinnipiac is roughly translated to “long water land,” a name given by Indigenous peoples who lived along the river long before European settlement. Later, the river became intrinsically tied to the history of New Haven and many other towns in its watershed. — After a brief talk we will explore the site and sketch, then share our drawings together as a group. — No drawing experience necessary! We use sketching as a tool for observing, capturing, and reflecting on our surroundings. — Some art supplies will be provided, but feel free to bring your own. — Bring water and sun/weather/bug protection. We will be next to a river, after all! — Heavy rain will reschedule; check back for info. For more information about the project visit https://elycenter.org/long-water-land. |
