Brooklyn Bridge Park with Rebecca McMackin

Rebecca McMackin joins Cultivating Place to share more about rebuilding ecology where we can – and, she notes, if Brooklyn Bridge Park and her team can do it on concrete shipping piers over the East River in New York City – we can all do it. Rebecca is an ecologically focused horticulturist and garden designer. For the past decade, She has been the Director of Horticulture for BBP, an 85-acre ecologically minded landscape constructed from the soil up on repurposed post-industrial shipping piers jutting out over New York’s East River. Rebecca and her horticultural team care for the diversity of life within this human constructed parkland organically and with an emphasis on habitat creation for birds, butterflies, and soil microorganisms – as well as visiting humans.
