Where?

Hammock Grove is a place open to the public where tourists and school children can go to relax in a cozy hammock with their friends and family.  Although, in this section of Hammock Grove, there are wooden fences put down to protect trees. Because this is a hotspot for tourists and school children, many people don't respect the work that has been done, and knock down the fences. Even just when walking by, it is easy to see all the fences that have been broken  preventing proper safety of the trees, and causing the rate of photosynthesis to decrease. By putting up these fences, the workers of Governors Island are trying to clean up and rebuild this site to reach a point where this is productive for the environment and a good spot for tourists. 


New York Harbor School Marine Affairs students will engage with partners to map Governors Island and its Climate Engagement. Students will create a Green Maps of Governors Islands' Relationship to SDGs - the Sustainable Development Goals, climate education, climate change vulnerabilities, innovation approaches to climate solutions, and bring waste to the visible eye. These maps will aid in students engaging in their community, displaying incorrectness and education to the public during climate week. Student-led and student-created. This will be something that will live and evolve each climate week as our city and world revolve around emerging climate issues. This student will swing back to update and evaluate our local and global progress.
