People Power: How Citizen Science is Changing the Way Scientists Work Friday, November 7 8:30 am – 10:30 am at the Westchester County Center, White Plains, NY Citizen science is professionally-led research conducted in tandem with community-based volunteers. Citizen scientists learn valuable skills in order to collect and submit data, share experiences, and spread essential information all while observing nature with a critical lens. In turn, these large open volunteer networks often allow researchers to accomplish tasks that would be too expensive or time consuming to accomplish through other means. Teatown is a proud partner of the Conversations on Conservation (Conservation Cafes) Series. Click here for full details and to RSVP |
 Sitting on Purpose 10 am – 11:30 am Lynn Trotta of Sagefire Institute returns with the ancient practice of Sit Spot – a form of daily meditation that takes a person out of their head and puts them into their senses. In Sit Spot, nature becomes the Master and draws forth the Master within. Participants will be given the inspiration and key elements to integrating this life changing practice into their everyday living so they may experience a greater sense of peace, feel more connected to the natural world than they ever have before, feel healthier and discover a profound sense of gratitude. Please dress appropriately for the weather and provide for your personal level of comfort. Bring a blanket or camp chair to sit on as most of the program will occur outdoors. |
 Nuts About Squirrels! 10 am – 11:30 am Scurrying squirrels are busily hoarding food for the winter. Be part of the squirrely antics as we play a game and create a craft to take home. This program is intended for families with children 3 – 6 years of age. Did you know? Squirrels have four front teeth that never stop growing so they don’t wear down from the constant gnawing. |
