AccessibilityBeach Grass Planting at Coney Island Creek
Saturday, March 22, 2025
10:00 a.m.–1:00 p.m.
Join the NYC Parks Stewardship team to plant beachgrass (Ammophila breviligulata) at Coney Island Creek! Ammophila is the dominant coastal grass in our region, helping to build and stabilize front dunes. Because the grass primarily spreads by rhizome, we harvest bare-root plant material from the Greenbelt Native Plant Center production plots to replant into dune restoration projects. Volunteers should dress in clothes that can get dirty, close-toed shoes, and warm layers. This event has been funded in part by NYC Service.
