Thank you to @QnsBPRichards for visiting the West Pond Living Shoreline, and planting marsh grasses with our team yesterday! We are grateful for your commitment to Jamaica Bay and Rockaway.
These nine new acres of marshland being planted as we speak will not only offer so many animal species a place to thrive, it will protect our bay-facing communities from sea level rise.
Thank you to the @JBRPC for today's tour and for your work to keep our wetlands alive.
