During the most isolating times of COVID-19\, Poster\, like many\, sought out nature as a respite. The wonder of birds inspired him to gather friends and colleagues to celebrate and protect birds and their habitats. Spring 2022 will see the release of “The Birdsong Project\,” a 20-album set of recordings celebrating birds by 200-plus contributors\, including musicians\, poets\, visual artists\, historians\, and actors. \n\n\nFor the Birds at Brooklyn Botanic Garden includes an installation of artist-made birdhouses\, beautiful signs and interpretation\, education programs for children and adults\, and a series of public events. By visiting\, participating in programs\, and observing the birds all around them in the Garden\, visitors will broaden their understanding of conservation action for birds and green spaces. For the Birds will underscore that the existence of all birdlife rests on the preservation of plants and ecosystems. \n\n\nTickets range from $500 to $2\,500; tables for ten start at $10\,000. Proceeds from the Spring Gala provide essential support for the Garden—sustaining collections\, programs\, and the well-being of our community and staff. \n\n\nThe evening’s menu will be designed and prepared by Patina Restaurant Group. Each course will feature fresh ingredients that were sustainably grown and harvested. \n\n\nFestive botanical attire encouraged. Tickets held at the door. Complimentary parking provided for cocktails and dinner guests. \n\n\nFor more information\, contact Brooklyn Botanic Garden at development@bbg.org.
