We work on a number of issues related to Randall’s Island, a gem of a green space that is being more and more privatized and de-natured. We have led bike, walking and canoe tours of the island for over ten years. We advocate for greater access it the island itself, equity in distribution of permits, accountable land-use planning, for more green space and against the use of artificial turf.
