From Marsh to Meadow: A Spring Nature Walk Through Randall’s Island Park
May 1 @ 1:00 pm - 2:30 pm
This tour is a part of the 2026 Jane’s Walk NYC festival. Learn more about other available walks on their website at janeswalk.org. Join us for a guided nature walk of NYC’s largest salt marsh and our award-winning waterfront garden, where budding trees, blooming flowers, and returning wildlife mark the changing season. Begin at Little Hell Gate Salt Marsh to see how this vital ecosystem supports biodiversity, mitigates climate change, and serves as a nursery for local species. Learn about the island’s rich natural history and encounter some of the creatures that call it home. Then continue into the Waterfront Garden, where spring is in bloom. Explore a vibrant mix of native and ornamental plants alive with butterflies, and other pollinators. Experience the sights and sounds of spring as the island transforms into a thriving landscape.
