Nature Walk

Take the fer­ry over to our green oasis for a spe­cial guid­ed tour to dis­cov­er and con­nect with the wildlife that calls this place home. Led by the Gov­er­nors Island Nature pro­gram along with insect ecol­o­gist Amy Berkov, these month­ly tours will take par­tic­i­pants on a jour­ney through Gov­er­nors Island’s diverse nat­ur­al areas. You’ll get to learn about these resilient, built land­scapes direct­ly from the peo­ple who know them best, and get the chance to par­tic­i­pate in dif­fer­ent com­mu­ni­ty sci­ence projects. 

Sep­tem­ber’s Nature Walk will be focused on how cli­mate change is impact­ing insect pop­u­la­tions, both on the Island and around New York City, in hon­or of Cli­mate Week NYC.
