Take the ferry over to our green oasis for a special guided tour to discover and connect with the wildlife that calls this place home. Led by the Governors Island Nature program along with CCNY Insect Ecology Professor Amy Berkov, these monthly tours will take participants on a journey through the young urban forest of Hammock Grove and the immersive spaces at Outlook Hill and Discovery Hill. You’ll get to learn about these resilient, built landscapes directly from the people who know them best, and get the chance to participate in different community science projects.
Click here to download iNaturalist app in advance so you can log all the wildlife you spot during your visit. Governors Island Nature Walks are free and open to all, and are held entirely outdoors on Governors Island. Each tour will depart from Yankee Hanger at Liggett Terrace near the Urban Farm (click here for directions). Ferry tickets are not included with this reservation and can be reserved separately at govisland.org/ferry.
