RIPA’s Natural Areas team will be hosting an event open to the public all about exploring one of the crown jewels of our park’s waterfront; the Little Hell-Gate Salt Marsh! Drop in for free kayaking in partnership with HarborLAB, and engage our team to learn all about this amazing ecosystem and its role in our greater NYC Harbor Estuary.
