Project Site: Guardian Memorial Park

At the entrance to Fort Hancock stand two symbols of the Cold War era of US military history, the Nike Ajax and Nike Hercules missiles. The two missiles represent the last “guardians” of the New York harbor and metropolitan area. Team Gateway was at Guardian Park to remove three pine trees that were a driving and visual hazard to visitors. With the new Stihl chainsaw and experience at the Lot B project site, Team Gateway made headway at the new site, and felled and treated the three pine trees all in one day!
