Went on a bird walk this morning in #RiversideParkNY led by Torie of the #RiversideParkConservancy . Lots of birds out. Even with all the dogs yapping. The birds still move too fast for me so I ended up taking photos of infrastructure. Mostly stairs with handrails for #MapComplete and #OpenStreetMap.
The #RiversideParkConservancy has created an incredibly large #pollinator meadow north of tennis courts at 119th. You may also see some very cute #goats.
Some of the Riverside Park Conservancy's (RPC) four summer 2022 goats which lived in a large pen in Riverside Park between the 119th Street Tennis courts and Riverside Drive.Their purpose was ostensibly to eat invasive vines and invasive multiflora rose. How much of that they did is debatable. What they did which is without question is raise the profile of RPC, involve young volunteers, provide a local attraction and petting zoo.

Took extremely enlightening and inspiring tour of the northern part of Riverside Park with the Riverside Park Conservancy. Before this I had no idea how much has been done there. A lot has been done. Totally incredible.

The Hudson Swimmer

Ira Gershenhorn routinely swims in the sometimes unsanitary Hudson River off Manhattan, to show people that, aside from the sewage, the water’s great.
