Recent Event
Urban Environment led a  Scavenger Hunt Exploration on Governors Island on July 24. Despite the extreme heat, more than 260 people joined Cornell to learn about Governors Island's history, ecology, and natural environment. New York Harbor School students and Cornell volunteers assisted in making the activity a success! Funding was provided in part by the New York City Environmental Fund, administered by the Hudson River Foundation. |
