Changed: Cancelled

Unfortunately, we need to cancel the event, because an endangered bird species has taken up nesting residence on the beach, and our presence there would disturb them too much, according to park officials.

We may pick up this project at another point, but probably not before September.

  Sunday, June 9, 2013 – 9:15am Location: Grand Army Plaza

Ride your bike out to Fort Tilden to volunteer to clean up the beaches in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy.

We will ride our bicycles out to Fort Tilden, to volunteer to clean up the beaches when we arrive from 11AM to 3PM.

Tasks include removing debris and moving sand.

It is recommended to bring boots, and work gloves (though gloves may be provided).

Bring your own lunch, or we can buy something along the way.

Let’s clean up our beach so it may reopen sooner!
