Join Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group (MUFG) and the Student Conservation Association on Saturday, November 7th to Restore Randall’s Island!
Randall’s Island is a unique park and recreational space situated at the confluence of the East River, the Harlem River, and Long Island Sound in NYC. Easily accessible from Manhattan, Queens, or the Bronx, the island contains over four miles of coastal habitat as well as an apple orchard, oyster gardens, and a working urban farm. MUFG volunteers will help to restore the Randall’s Island wetlands by removing invasive species, laying mulch, and improving waterfront trails.
***This event is open only to Mitsubishi UFJ employees and family members.***
WHEN: Saturday, November 7th, 9:00 am to 1:00 pm
WHERE: Randall’s Island, Icahn Stadium, 20 Randalls Island, New York, NY 10035. Meet at East Entrance of Icahn Stadium.
WHAT: Volunteers will help to restore the Randall’s Island wetlands by removing invasive species, laying mulch, and improving waterfront trails.
BRING WITH YOU: Please wear long pants and sturdy closed-toe shoes that you don’t mind getting dirty. (Although this project takes place in and around the wetlands, trails are elevated and no waders or additional waterproof gear is needed.)
