This Spring, the Hunters Point Parks Conservancy is partnering with Gabriel Willow to host three nature tours in Hunter's Point South Park.

Welcome spring with us and take a nature tour of the park that will focus on the restored tidal marsh ecosystem, with some ecological history of NYC weaved in. Learn about the great potential these habitats have both as an oasis for migrating birds and also how they serve as buffers from storms and sea level rise, and increase the resiliency of our waterfront and neighborhoods.

Participants will meet at the entrance to Hunter's Point South Park at the intersection of Center Blvd. & Borden Ave. Please make sure you arrive 5-10 minutes before the start time.

Three events will take place (April 30 & May 21 at 5pm & May 20 at 9am).

Birders increasingly use technological tools to locate birds, share their sightings, and keep track of their observations. The most widely used of these tools is eBird, a website and app that allows users to upload and track their sightings and see what other users have found. It’s also a community science tool that pools all the data, allowing scientists to study trends in bird population trends, migration timing, and more. During this virtual class, learn how to use eBird and other modern technological tools such as field guide apps and automated bird ID apps.
