As we wrap up Climate Week 2024, join NYC Bird Alliance's (formerly NYC Audubon) Alex Wang on an a stroll through Kissena Corridor Park in Flushing, Queens! This green space connects Flushing Meadows Corona Park and Kissena Park, creating one long green corridor that provides excellent habitat for migrating birds.

Accessibility is enhanced by birding guide and educator Alexandra Wang (Avian Alex), M.S. Ed., who offers augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) pamphlets, Braille pamphlets and plush birds for an inclusive birding tour. Further accommodations can be requested in advance by emailing Alex at alexmwang1992@gmail.com. 

The group will meet at the Evergreen Community Garden (47-32 Colden Street, Flushing, NY 11355). Registration not required but encouraged. No limit. Free.

Accessibility and Directions:

Kissena Corridor park contains paved paths and fairly flat terrain. Public restrooms can be found at the Silent Springs Playground near the meeting location. Across the park from the meeting spot, the Q20A, Q20B, and Q44-SBS buses stop at Main St/Booth Memorial Av. There is no parking on site.
