The Green-Wood Cemetery

Discover Green-Wood’s insects and spiders on a guided “insect watching” walk celebrating the Cemetery’s tiny, fascinating inhabitants.

Herbivores and carnivores, pollinators and parasites, beautiful and, sometimes, frightening, at least 950 species—and counting—of insects and spiders have been identified in Green-Wood.Join us for an eye-opening afternoon of insect watching! Akin to birdwatching, this program invites you to observe the tiny invertebrates that birds eat and that pollinate our flowers. Whether you’re a budding biologist or simply curious about the creatures that call the Cemetery home, this program promises an unforgettable journey of discovery and appreciation for the smaller inhabitants of our world.Before Purchasing Your Ticket, Please Note:<ul><li>Tickets: There is no need to print tickets!
