July 12th Morning HRRP EcoTour
About this Event
Come aboard the Hutchinson River Restoration Project’s EcoTour and explore the rich history and ecology of the Hutchinson River. Participants will travel along the river while learning about the wildlife, marshes, and natural habitats that continue to survive within this urban environment.
The tour also offers a firsthand look at how industry and development interact with the natural ecosystem of the river. From active industrial sites and transportation infrastructure to restored marshlands and wildlife habitats, guests will gain a deeper understanding of both the environmental challenges facing the river and the ongoing efforts to protect and restore it.
This unique experience is a great opportunity for nature lovers, history enthusiasts, students, and community members to connect with the Hutchinson River and learn more about one of New York City’s overlooked waterways.
