The American Littoral Society's Northeast Chapter has been busy restoring two marshes in Jamaica Bay, Ruler's Bar and Black Wall, since last spring. After weeks of seed harvesting, months of dredging, sand build-up, fence construction, and seed germination, the time to plant the islands has finally arrived! Volunteers are needed to plant Ruler's Bar, the smaller of the two marshes, this coming May. May 18th and May 19th will be the first days of community planting, and will be for persons over the age of 16 only. May 25th, 26th, and June 2nd will be open to families and individuals of all ages.

Please remember that the A Train still has not been restored Post-Sandy.

In order to arrive by public transportation, take either a Lefferts Blvd or Howard Beach/JFK bound A Train to Rockaway Blvd, an transfer to a Q52 or Q53 LTD via the exit nearest the back of the train.

A big thank you to Signazon for providing the signs for our marshes.

We can't wait to have you join us in wrapping up this year's segment of our marsh restoration initiative! See you soon!
