Join Urban Park Rangers for a biking tour along the Jamaica Bay Greenway, a protected bike line that stretches along a string of coastal preserves in Brooklyn and Queens. We’ll discuss how these places reflect New Yorker’s changing relationship with wetlands, from a legacy of exploitation and grand development schemes to a rising focus on conservation and climate resilience.
