Free Parking

The Wharton Studio & Cafe

Friends of Stewart Park and Wharton Studio Museum (WSM) are collaborating to transform the lakefront section of the historic Wharton Studio Building (currently the DPW building) into the Wharton Studio & Café (WS&C). This cultural and recreational destination in Stewart Park will feature a small cafe, gallery space with multimedia exhibits on Ithaca's movie history -- as well as park history -- and terraces overlooking Cayuga Lake. Phase II of the project includes a renovated parking area that can serve as a multi-use Performance Plaza (parking will still be available). The Wharton Studio & Cafe will breathe new life into the former studio building, all the while preserving and highlighting unique local history and creating a vibrant gathering place for the residents and visitors to the area.

The Wharton Studio Building

The Wharton Studio Building is one of the few remaining silent era (early 20th century) motion picture studios in the country. Its restoration will be a key component of the WS&C, and serves as the final project in the overall restoration of Stewart Park’s historic pavilion complex. The Wharton Studio Museum will continue to offer educational programs as its been doing since 2011, and will curate all the  exhibits in the WS&C’s gallery space, allowing visitors to learn about the region's role in early American filmmaking.

The Wharton Studio & Cafe will give visitors a place to enjoy the park even when the weather isn't ideal for being outdoors. There will be WiFi, phone charging, and bathroom facilities. The café, exhibit spaces, and lakeside terraces can also host live music events, private parties, or film-related workshops, drawing Ithacans and visitors to the park.

This is a family-friendly event -- there will be a film-related craft for kids -- and we look forward to seeing you!

                                    Join us on Saturday, April 27th at 2pm at IYB!

Our ANNUAL WATERFRONT CLEANUP, will be Saturday, April 12 from 10 am to noon!

Together, we'll practice good stewardship of our park and Cayuga Lake’s waterfront, with trash cleanup, pavilion cleaning, and trimming. Dress for the weather, wear boots or sturdy shoes, and bring gloves, garbage bags, litter grabbers, rakes or anything else that will help.

Thanks to Zero Waste Ithaca for partnering with FSP on this cleanup. Meet by the Wharton Building (DPW). 

If the weather is terrible, we’ll reschedule to April 12th.

Friends of Stewart Park invites you to

The Power of Birds to Transform Conservation with Amanda Rodewald

Thursday March 20, 7:00 PM, Cinemapolis
$20 Suggested Donation
$15-$50 Sliding Scale per Ticket

Proceeds Benefit an Interpretive Sign for the Fuertes Bird Sanctuary Overlook.
This event kicks off the Ithaca Native Landscape Symposium.

MORE ABOUT THE EVENT:

With so many competing pressures for land and resources, conservation is increasingly expected to achieve a wide range of social, economic, and ecological goals and to improve the return on conservation investments. However, directing conservation efforts to the most important places at the most critical times is challenging because it requires extensive and detailed information.

In her talk, Amanda will discuss how birds give us a powerful lens through which we identify and implement strategies to conserve biodiversity and address global challenges facing people and the planet. She illustrates how eBird, a global participatory science project run by the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, can facilitate the development of flexible, adaptable, creative, and economical approaches to conservation.

Amanda Rodewald is the Garvin Professor and Senior Director of the Center for Avian Population Studies at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology and the Department of Natural Resources and the Environment at Cornell University. She also serves as a Faculty Director for the Cornell Atkinson Center for Sustainability. Prior to joining Cornell in 2013, Amanda spent 13 years as a professor at Ohio State University. Amanda received a B.S. degree in Wildlife Biology from University of Montana, a M.Sc. in Zoology from University of Arkansas, and a Ph.D. in Ecology from Pennsylvania State University. She works at the intersection of ecology and conservation, often drawing upon the social sciences, and she uses both field-based studies and participatory science to address conservation challenges in temperate and tropical systems. She has published over 190 scientific papers, an Ornithology textbook, 10 book chapters, and over 70 popular articles. Amanda is a fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) and the American Ornithological Society, from which she received the William Brewster Award in 2022. She also has served four terms on the Science Advisory Board of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, has testified before Congress, and regularly engages with practitioners and decision-makers to develop smart and innovative approaches to conservation that can accommodate social and ecological needs.

Friends of Stewart Park invites you to a free guided bird walk with Meena Haribal

Meet at Stewart Park, in the northeast parking lot--as soon as you enter the park, take your first immediate right at the stop sign. You will be facing the lake as soon as you make the right turn, and this parking lot is only about 100 yds from the entrance.

Bring a pair of binoculars if you can--there will be a scope and a few pairs of binoculars to share. 

This walk will be on level terrain the entire time, no hills. We'll start along the lake shore and should see a variety of ducks, geese, mergansers, loons and gulls. Then we'll head into the woods in the adjacent Renwick Sanctuary--looking for forest birds such as wrens, nuthatches, titmouse and many other species. Possibly great horned owls roosting, but no guarantees! Dress in layers for the weather, including hat and gloves. The lake shore can be windy!
