Westchester County Parks’ Conservation Division to Host Solar Eclipse Events
Westchester County Parks’ Conservation Division will host solar eclipse events county-wide, Monday, April 8, where participants can safely view the solar eclipse and learn more about this astronomical marvel. Westchester County Parks was able to obtain viewing glasses for all events as it is not safe to look directly at the solar eclipse.
Westchester County Department of Parks, Recreation and Conservation Commissioner, Kathy O’Connor said, “Our Conservation Division does an incredible job of hosting educational events that inform the public of seasonal environmental happenings, and this event is sure to be both fun and informative.”
The following locations will host solar eclipse events:
• Cranberry Lake Preserve in North White Plains, 2 p.m. to 4 p.m.
• Edith G. Read Wildlife Sanctuary in Rye, 2 p.m. to 4 p.m.
• Lasdon Park, Arboretum, and Veterans Memorial in Katonah, 2:30 p.m. to 4 p.m.
• Lenoir Preserve in Yonkers, 2 p.m. to 4 p.m.
