The Rock Creek Conservancy is a great community partner to GW, and they do more equity work than you may realize. Join this event to celebrate Women's History Month.
Thursday, March 23, 5:30 PM - 7:00 PM (VIRTUAL)
For most of Rock Creek Park’s history, women have played a role in historic events, though often with less fanfare and formal power than men. This program will explore the ways in which notable women, including Rachel Carson, Beatrix Farrand, and Elizabeth Proctor Thomas, have shaped Rock Creek and left a wider legacy - and the ways Rock Creek shaped them. Kym Elder of the National Park Service, Ann Aldrich of Dumbarton Oaks Park Conservancy, and Rebecca Henson of the Springsong Museum will speak on a panel moderated by Rock Creek Park botanist Ana Chuquin.
