  • Wanderings Newsletter of the OUTDOORS CLUB INC
    Wanderings newsletter of the OUTDOORS CLUB INC. www.OutdoorsClubNY.org ISSUE NUMBER 125 PUBLISHED TRI-ANNUALLY Mar-Jun 2020 The Outdoors Club is a non-profit 501(c) (3) volunteer-run organization open to all pleasant adults 18 and over that engages in hiking, biking, wilderness trekking, canoeing, mountaineering, snowshoeing and skiing, nature and educational city walking tours of varying difficulty. Individual participants are expected to engage in activities suitable to their ability, experience and physical condition. Leaders may refuse to take anyone who lacks ability or is not properly dressed or equipped. These precautions are for your safety and the well-being of the group. Your participation is voluntary and at your own risk. Remember to bring lunch and water on all full-day activities. Telephone the leader or Lenny if unsure what to wear or bring with you on an activity. Nonmembers pay one-day membership dues of $3. We will miss Bob Ward who left NYC for sunny California. He has been such an important part of the Outdoors Club especially for his knowledge and help in running the Club, and for all the outings he has led for us. He knew the history, places to visit, and little known facts about the area. He started off as a Club Delegate for the New York-New Jersey Trail Conference, served on committees, was Chair of the New York Metro Trails Committee, and currently was Chair of the Queens Parks Trails Council which he founded about six years ago. Bob, thank you and have a wonderful life in your new home.

This report measures the state of parks in Brooklyn. There are many different kinds of parks — active, passive, and pocket — and this report focuses on active parks that have a mix of amenities and uses. It is important for Brooklynites to have a pleasant park in their neighborhood to enjoy open space, meet their neighbors, play, and relax. While park equity is integral to creating One Brooklyn — a place where all residents can enjoy outdoor recreation and relaxation — fulfilling the vision of community parks first depends on measuring our current state of parks. This report will be used as a tool to guide my parks capital allocations and recommendations to the New York City Department of Parks and Recreation (NYC Parks), as well as to identify recommendations to improve advocacy for parks at the community and grassroots level in order to improve neighborhoods across the borough.

This spring, we’ve organized a restoration cleanup and marsh planting at Plum Beach, a section of Gateway National Recreation Area and a major spawning beach for the ancient horseshoe crab. In May and June during the high tides, the crabs come ashore to lay their eggs as they’ve done for millions of years. This provides a critical food source for the many species of shorebirds that are migrating through New York City. Small fi sh such as mummichogs and killifi sh join in the feast as well. JAMAICA BAY RESTORATION PROJECTS: Since 1986, the Littoral Society has been organizing annual PROTECTING OUR MARINE LIFE shoreline cleanups to document debris and create a greater public awareness of the issue.
