Founded in 1980, the Central Park Conservancy manages all aspects of Central Park’s maintenance, enhancement, and restoration. In addition to helping to preserve a scenic retreat in the middle of a highly urbanized city, the conservancy offers a variety of programs and exhibits to educate the public about Central Park’s history. The Charles A. Dana Discovery Center inside Central Park features an exhibit that reveals archeological and historical findings uncovered during the restoration of the Fort Landscape, a six-acre plot of land located in the northeast corner of Central Park. Open to the public daily between 10 a.m. and 5 p.m., the exhibit showcases how the topography of the Fort Landscape was formed by a glacier millions of years ago. It also highlights the military history of the area. Fort Landscape was occupied by the British military as a camping and reinforcement site during the Revolutionary War. During the War of 1812, Americans used the area’s ascending path and rocky heights to build a defense system of three fortifications to gain access and control over the Kingsbridge Road, the main road running through Manhattan.

To further its mission, the Catskill Animal Sanctuary recently launched a weekly podcast series titled “All Beings Considered”, hosted by the founder herself. In the first episode, released on June 27, 2019, Kathy Stevens welcomed listeners to a series discussing farmed animals, food, and changing the world through individual action. She also highlighted how raising 150 billion land animals each year for food not only affects people’s health but is detrimental to animals and the environment. In subsequent episodes, Kathy Stevens has talked with caretakers, guest speakers from other animal sanctuaries, and experts in animal emotions and animal behavior about topics such as veganism and the lessons and experiences of caring for farmed animals. |
