New York Restoration Project (NYRP) is pleased to invite you to the Sherman Creek Environmental Science Series, a three-part hybrid seminar series featuring leading scientists whose work has shaped our understanding of estuarine restoration, water quality, and wetland health in Northern Manhattan.
These sessions, held in person at the Sherman Creek Center and online, will explore critical environmental issues affecting Sherman Creek and the broader Harlem River estuary. The series is designed to be of interest to be accessible to community members while also helping inform the relaunch of our Sherman Creek Stewards volunteer and community science program.
