SITE NO. 2: FORM & FUNCTION Saturday June 29 11am–1pm Trumbull Park Kiosk Linsley Dr, Plainville Parking lots on Linsley Drive
River restoration expert Paul Woodworth of Save the Sound will describe basic principles and patterns of river formation in this shallow section near the top of the Quinnipiac watershed. Wear your muckin' boots or water shoes (optional)! 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.
