Summary
Did you know that there are lizards living in the streets of New York City? Since their introduction to Long Island in the 1960’s, and subsequent spread across the region, Italian Wall Lizards have made a name for themselves as unlikely New Yorkers. They have adapted to colder climates and become a source of fascination for their human neighbors. This in person guided walking tour will meander through Liberty Park, one of the neighborhoods the lizards calls home. We will pay special attention to the many native, introduced, and invasive species of plants, animals, and fungi we see along the way. Participants will learn about the lizards, the history of land use and greenspace in Queens, and discuss the parallels between human, plant and animal migration. If we are lucky (and very quiet) we may see some of the famed lizards!
