New York City is the site of ancient earth-shaking and earth-shaping events. The bedrock that anchors the city’s skyscrapers tells a story of a place going back more than a billion years. The island of Manhattan is built on three strata known as Manhattan Schist, Inwood Marble, and Fordham Gneiss

New York City is home to an amazing abundance of wildlife. Our Urban Park Rangers will guide you to the best wildlife viewing spots. Throughout the winter, many Bald Eagles from upstate will fly south to NYC to hunt along the open, unfrozen sections of the Hudson River. On our walk we will hopefully be able to observe some of these mighty raptors soaring above the river or perched along the forest scouring for fish to prey upon!
