Join the NYC Parks Stewardship team and the Natural Areas Conservancy to clean up one of the city’s most precious resources-the salt marsh at Rockaway Community Park. This wetland is home to mussels, crabs, and birds, and protects local communities from damages caused by storms and flooding. Help us clean up the marsh so that it may continue to grow and thrive.
