Floyd Bennett grassland cleanup 3/23

Subject: Grassland Cleanup Volunteers Needed Date: Fri Mar 22 2013 10:54 am From: citybirder AT

The National Park Service and NYCAS are coordinating a  cleanup of the grasslands at Floyd Bennett Field this Saturday, March 23rd at 9am.  As you may know, Floyd Bennett was used as a staging  area for FEMA and other emergency services after  Hurricane Sandy. The hundreds of vehicles and thousands of workers using the park did a great job, but as one might  expect, all the activity left considerable debris on and  around the grasslands. Some cleanup had already begun this week, but there is still much more work to do. If you or your organization are interested in lending a  hand to cleanup Brooklyn's last remaining grassland: Meet at the Ryan Visitor Center tomorrow (March 23rd) at 9:00am. Gloves and bags will be supplied. For those using mass transit, the Q-35 bus stops  opposite the Ryan Visitor Center. Aviator Sports, which is adjacent to the Ryan Visitor  Center, has driving directions on their website here: http://www.aviatorsports.com/c... Rob http://citybirder.blogspot.com
