Help the Westchester Land Trust inaugurate the first annual Leon Levy Winter Walk (families welcome) and Environmental Symposium by joining us for two great events.
 
On Saturday afternoon, February 28, Andrew C. Revkin, the New York Times science reporter, will discuss global warming, sustainability, the news media and land preservation in a talk called "DOT EARTH: 9 Billion People + 1 Planet = ?".  The Environmental Symposium will be held in the Carriage House of the Waccabuc Country Club, from 4 to 6 p.m.
 
On Sunday, March 1 - we'll gather at the Leon Levy Preserve at 1 p.m. for a winter walk through the woods.  Families are welcome to come and explore.
 
Both events are in honor of the late philanthropist Leon Levy, the principal benefactor of the Leon Levy Preserve, in South Salem. The Winter Walk and Environmental Symposium are being organized by Westchester Land Trust and its local chapter, the Lewisboro Land Trust, and is generously sponsored by the Jerome Levy Foundation.
 
Both are FREE and open to the public, although seating is limited at the Environmental Symposium and reservations are recommended. RSVP to info@westchesterlandtrust.org (put "Leon Levy" in the subject line).
 
In addition to Andrew Revkin, the symposium will feature two local experts - Paul Gallagher and Guy Hodges - who will give a brief history of the preserve. Revkin's talk will follow.
 
The Sunday walk of the Leon Levy Preserve will honor Leon Levy and give a nod of thanks to the Lewisboro residents who, in the late 1990s, staged winter walks of the 386-acre tract, known then as the Bell property, as a way to build support for public acquisition.
