This week’s teaching schedule has a slight change – the Wednesday evening 60 min class will now take place at 8 am. Full schedule below.
Quite a few people have asked me for recommendations on where you can explore nature and wildlife in the 5 Boroughs, so I thought I’d leave a list here of some of the places I’ve been exploring. Unfortunately unless you have a car, some of these places are more challenging to get to during current times, but well worth exploring if you can. The list below is by borough, and is definitely not all-inclusive, just places I’ve enjoyed.
Brooklyn:
Marine Park Salt Marsh Trail
Gerritsen Beach
Plumb Beach (go during low tide)
North Forty Natural Area (Floyd Bennet Field is currently closed – but putting this here for when it reopens)
Shore Road Park/Bay Ridge Promenade
Prospect Park
Queens:
Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge
Forest Park
Manhattan:
The Ramble, Ravine, and North Woods in Central Park
Fort Tryon Park (one of my faves)
Staten Island:
The Greenbelt (High Rock Park and Latourette Park)
