Wetland Cleanup & Costumed Kayak Tour 10/29/21

Join the Freshkills Park Alliance for a wetland clean up at our Kayak Launch site. Following the clean up volunteers will have the opportunity to Kayak along Freshkills Park’s waterways! This two mile round-trip paddle is a chance to explore the creeks and shorelines of Freshkills Park and experience the wildlife while the site is closed to the public.  It’s Halloween around the corner, so costumes are welcome and encouraged.
