Trust and Island staff have been working to clean up debris around the Island left by Hurricane Sandy.[/caption] As we mentioned to you on Thursday, Governors Island came through Hurricane Sandy well. While there are sticks, tree limbs and debris around the Island that washed ashore, the clean up is well underway and Island operations are getting up and running. Incredibly, only four trees on the Trust’s property were lost and they are now being cleared away. [caption id=“attachment_6089” align=“aligncenter” width=“300”]
A tree limb came down in Nolan Park but was well clear of all the historic buildings. None of the historic buildings sustained any damage from the storm.[/caption] Everything on the Island is getting back on track. Construction will get back underway this week at the site of the new park and public spaces and the Trust’s offices will be open for business.
