Pier 42\, like all urban green spaces\, requires ongoing care and maintenance to remain both an enjoyable public park and a fully functioning climate resiliency system. We believe that the more people understand these ecosystems—and the plants and wildlife that inhabit them—the more motivated they will be to protect them. For this year’s City of Water Day\, our team will lead a walking tour of Pier 42\, highlighting its green infrastructure and coastal resilience features\, while also introducing participants to the native plants that can be observed throughout the park. The walk will be followed by stewarding the bioswale. \nSign up → URL:https://www.lesecologycenter.org/calendar/city-of-water-day-coastal-connections-at-pier-42/ LOCATION:East River at Pier 42\, Pier 42\, New York\, NY\, 10002\, United States CATEGORIES:Community Events,Public Program,Special Events,Stewardship ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.lesecologycenter.org/wp-content/uploads/tribe_events//City-of-Water-Day-Featured-Image.jpg GEO:40.7105825;-73.9807262 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=East River at Pier 42 Pier 42 New York NY 10002 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=Pier 42:geo:-73.9807262,40.7105825 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20260706T170000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20260706T190000 DTSTAMP:20260630T204810Z CREATED:20260630T204606Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260630T204810Z UID:10058546-1783357200-1783364400@www.lesecologycenter.org SUMMARY:Street Tree Canopy Care Volunteer Day DESCRIPTION:Help us take care of the trees by aerating soil\, weeding\, removing litter\, and applying NYC-made compost and mulch.
