“Pepacton: River and Reservoir” with Diane Galusha
In 1880, John Burroughs, paddling a hand-made boat, floated down a river that today provides millions of NYC residents with water. Diane Galusha will present a study in contrasts, sharing excerpts from Burroughs' "Pepacton: A Summer Voyage," and her own Liquid Assets: A History of New York City's Water System.
The John Burroughs Woodchuck Lodge Wild Saturdays Series is supported by a grant from the Catskill Watershed Corporation.
