Please join us to support NYC H2O along with Council Member Mercedes Narcisse's office for a volunteer cleanup at Canarsie Park in Brooklyn! Canarsie Park connects to Canarsie Pier and overlooks Paerdegat Basin. Before the 1920s, Paerdegat Basin was Paerdegat Creek, a freshwater tidal creek connecting to Jamaica Bay. Canarsie Park is known for its recreation facilities, but, due to its close proximity to the seashore and its lesser-known wetland hiking trails, it is also home to a surprising number of diverse wildlife spanning multiple aquatic ecosystems. There is no size cap for this event, so we encourage friends and family of alums to come participate as well! Service credit certificates or verification can be provided for any students.
