Episode 63, recorded on Dec. 11, 2013 of Walk in the Park. This time, we take another brief look at the approach of the emerald ash borer, which threatens to destroy virtually all of our ash trees. Next we enjoy the Iroquois Thanksgiving Address or "The Words that Come before All Else," as recited by Mohawk storyteller Kay Olan, and illustrated with artwork by Melanie Printup Hope; produced for the Iroquois Indian Museum in Howes Cave, NY (http://www.iroquoismuseum.org/). You can watch this beautiful video separately on our Walk in the Park vidblog at http://ithacafingerlakes.com/2013/11/28/iroquois-thanksgiving-address/. 

Next we learn about Saving Ithaca's Views, a project of the Town of Ithaca Conservation Board, and the statewide award they received for this initiative.

Finally, we enjoy three "Park Minute" videos: 1) "A Tour of Ithaca's Views" (http://ithacafingerlakes.com/2013/11/02/park-minute-a-tour-of-ithacas-views/), 2) "Galaxy Eddy" in Buttermilk Falls State Park (http://ithacafingerlakes.com/2013/11/11/park-minute-galaxy-eddy/), and 3) "Frosty Ithaca Falls."

Join me, Tony Ingraham, as we visit parks in the Finger Lakes region of New York State, across the US, and around the world. As a former career state park ranger and environmental educator and interpreter, I am moved to share my love of our beautiful and historic landscapes. I have two series: Walk in the Park, a weekly half hour show from public access TV in Ithaca, NY, and Park Minute. Find out more on my website http://walkinpark.com.
