Gantry Plaza Community Paddle!
Gantry Plaza State Park fishing pier (East River end of 50th Avenue)
Come down for a super mellow introduction to kayaking and out estuary!

Aug 31, Sunday, 10AM-3PM
Work Party!
HarborLAB GreenLaunch (53-21 Vernon Blvd — see website for directions)
Gardeners, environmental scientists, contractors, unskilled but friendly labor, naturalists, and other outdoorsy smarties needed to help turn HarborLAB’s launch into a welcoming green space!
Participants will be welcomed to enjoy short paddles during their breaks.
HarborLAB needs to make minor boat repairs, continue preparing its site for extensive plantings of marsh grasses and upland indigenous fruits (in ground for birds and in planters for us) and other improvements. We might also do some painting and hook up rain barrels. Please email volunteer@harborlab.org if you can help!
Food and refreshments provided. Restrooms at nearby businesses. Please be a customer!
