Join NYC Bird Alliance scientists for a free, guided tour of the Javits Center green roof network. The tour will discuss the Javits Center’s pioneering bird-friendly glass, visit the rooftop Farm, Food Forest, and Pollinator Garden, and explore how these habitats support pollinators, bats, and migratory birds. This event is part of the Nest Climate Campus conference during Climate Week NYC.  

Advance registration (free) for The Nest is required to attend this tour. After you register for NYC Bird Alliance's roof tour, click here for your complimentary pass to the Nest (click on the 2nd tab "Contact Information" to fill out the registration form).

Directions to Tour Meeting Spot: The tour will start at the North Javits Center building.  Enter the building at 11th Avenue and 38th Street, and head to the 4th Floor. Once out of the elevators, go to the south-facing wall of windows and look for the kiosk labeled "Javits Center"; there will be a “Roof Tour” sign.  Please arrive a few minutes before the scheduled tour time, in order to find the meeting spot. 

Transportation & Accessibility: The Javits Center's North Building is accessible via the M11, M12, and M34-SBS buses, as well as the 7 train line. We will be walking for much of the tour, including a lot of time outside on the roof. Elevators, escalators, sitting areas, and restrooms are present on site. Visit the Javits Center website for more information on directions.
