SUMMARY:Tour of the High Line
DESCRIPTION:Join fellow alumni for a private guided tour led by a High Line docent! We’ll learn all about the park’s history\, design\, horticulture\, and art. After the tour\, we’ll walk to the Meatball Shop for our group lunch. \nJoining us for this event is Fordham’s very own Denisha Williams\, a Fordham professor of interdisciplinary courses in environmental and urban design. Denisha is also a registered landscape architect\, a LEED-accredited professional\, and an ISA-certified arborist who has extensive experience in downtown revitalization management and community-based planning. She’ll lend us her expertise throughout the day! \nThis event costs $75 per person\, which includes both the tour and lunch. \nPlease note that this event involves extensive walking. The tour lasts about 75 minutes\, during which time we’ll walk the 1.45 mile park. We’ll also walk approximately 0.5 miles to lunch. \nAdditionally\, please note that our tour will take place rain or shine! \nA reminder email with final details will be sent to you one week prior to the event. \n  \nAbout the High Line \nBuilt on a historic elevated freight line destined for demolition\, the High Line is an example of how cities can reuse industrial spaces to create beautiful\, hybrid spaces that has inspired millions worldwide! \nConverting each section of the High Line from an out-of-use railroad trestle to a public landscape entailed not only years of planning\, community input\, and work by some of the city’s most inventive designers\, but also more than two years of construction per section. \nThe High Line’s planting design is inspired by the self-seeded landscape that grew on the out-of-use elevated rail tracks during the 25 years after trains stopped running. The species of perennials\, grasses\, shrubs\, and trees were chosen for their hardiness\, sustainability\, and textural and color variation\, with a focus on native species. Many of the species that originally grew on the High Line’s rail bed are incorporated into the park’s landscape. \n
