NOTE: THIS EVENT HAS BEEN POSTPONED DUE TO INCLEMENT WEATHER. NEW DATE TBD.

This City of Water Day, join NYC Bird Alliance (formerly NYC Audubon), the Public Housing Community Fund, and the Jamaica Bay-Rockaway Parks Conservancy for a NYCHA in Nature event as part of the 7th annual Jamaica Bay Festival! We'll explore the green space surrounding Beach 41st Street, including near the bay where we're likely to see plenty of waterfowl. The group will meet in front of the The Child Center of NY's Community Cornerstone building at 426 Beach 40th Street.

Registration not required but encouraged. No limit. Free. No experience necessary!

NYCHA in Nature is a partnership program with NYC Bird Alliance and the Public Housing Community Fund to offer birding opportunities and exposure to nature for NYCHA residents and the general public. The program will explore the outdoor space within the NYCHA developments as well as nearby public green space.

Accessibility and Directions:

The Cornerstone Community Center will be closed during event time so participants will not be able to access their restrooms. We will travel on flat, paved paths throughout the event. The Q22 bus stops right in front of the Beach 41st Street NYCHA house.
