The Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge-part of Gateway National Recreation Area-is one of the most significant bird sanctuaries in the Northeastern United States and one of the best places in New York City to observe migrating species. With more than 330 bird species-nearly half the species in the Northeast-sighted at the refuge over the last 25 years, it is a must-see for avian enthusiasts.
The park's unique landscape contains a variety of rare native habitats including a salt marsh, upland field and woods, several fresh and brackish water ponds, and an open expanse of bay. There is a wide variety of ranger and partner-led programs offered year-round at the site, including presentations on seasonal wildlife, sunset tours, hikes, boat trips, family programs and an annual lecture seriesCAUSE AREAS
