Students visit the shell pile on Governors Island for hands-on restoration work — washing shells, picking up trash, and building reef structures.
An outdoor program highlighting service to involve students in restoration around the New York Harbor. Students visit our shell pile on Governors Island, starting with a scenic mile-long walk where we discuss BOP along the way.
Upon arriving at the shell pile, students get involved in hands-on work — picking up trash, washing shells, weighing shells, and/or building structures — all depending on what our restoration team needs that day. These experiences are capped at 30 students for safety and engagement.
A thriving reef cluster, building habitat for generations
