Public Volunteer Day
About
Three hours on Governors Island helping rebuild New York Harbor's oyster reefs — sorting and cleaning shell, mixing concrete, casting reef structures. Meet at the Battery Maritime Building and travel across together; expect to lift about 15lbs and get dirty. Open to 18 and over, or 16–17 with a guardian. New dates are released on the 15th of each month and they go quickly. It is the largest volunteer operation on our New York calendar.
