The Church in Sag Harbor will host landscape designer and environmental activist Edwina von Gal to deliver a lecture about “Two Thirds for the Birds,” the campaign she launched with her nonprofit organization, Perfect Earth Project.
Von Gal creates landscapes with a focus on simplicity and sustainability for private and public clients around the world. She has collaborated with noted architects such as Maya Lin, Frank Gehry, Annabelle Selldorf, and Toshiko Mori, and on projects for Calvin Klein, Ralph Lauren, Richard Serra, Larry Gagosian, Robert De Niro, Jann Wenner, and many others in the environmental, design, and art communities.
Von Gal’s campaign aims to restore viable habitats within the human dominated landscape. The title of the campaign speaks to its most viable piece of advice: “for every three plants you plant, make two of them native.” Von Gal’s lecture will detail the campaign and explain how a healthy landscape leads to healthier birds and, ultimately, a healthier world.
The event will take place on Tuesday, August 30, at 5:30 PM. Tickets are $15 and can be purchased at thechurchsagharbor.org.
