Volunteer with the Stewardship Team in caring for the street trees in Canarsie, Brooklyn, outside of Community Board 18. Come dressed in long pants, closed-toed shoes (boots or sneakers preferred), and clothing that can get dirty. After the event, we will feature a special tour. Join us for a rare opportunity for a private urban ecology tour as part of the Canarsie Green Neighborhoods program! The five-acre Ecology Park at Paerdegat Basin is not yet open to the public. It was designed with a focus on climate adaptation and coastal protection.
