Join us as we help the recovery from Hurricane Sandy by planting Spartina grasses as part of saltmarsh restoration efforts. Saltmarsh acted as an important buffer during Sandy and increasing saltmarsh coverage will help the bay recover. Transportation provided, including a bus to and from Manhattan, and a boat to either Rulers Bar or Black Wall Island. We will meet at 71 W. 23rd Street and depart for Jamaica Bay at 7:00AM.
