Virtual Trip to the Galapogos

Pam Freeman asked me to get the word out about two free upcoming programs the Institute of Ecosystems Studies in Millbrook is hosting.
I notice that since the new year, it’s now the Cary Institute of Ecosystems Studies. (No relation, which is too bad because I would love to be one of Mary Flagler Cary’s heirs. She inherited one of the great Standard Oil fortunes and her former 1,900-acre estate is now the IES.)
Here’s email from Pam:
“Sunday, January 27th, 2008 2-4pm
“Explore the Galapagos at the Cary Institute of Ecosystem Studies
Join us on Sunday, January 27th for an afternoon exploring the beauty of the Galapagos Islands.

Bill Cary grew up in Louisville, Ky. His gardening was limited to growing parsley and impatiens on the windowsill of Manhattan walkups until the mid-1990s when he bought a rundown old chicken farm on 8 acres in the Hudson Valley. Now he spends his weekends chasing deer, hacking away at invasive shrubs and vines and wondering why he doesn`t have more meadow and less lawn.
