Join us in the heart of the New York Harbor on Governors Island. These 172 acres are home to transformative public art, open parkland, educational programming, and climate research. We’ll spend the afternoon with two island-based growing initiatives designed to engage New York City students and youth volunteers — one on land and one in the sea. Billion Oyster Project will show us a bit of their work to restore the harbor’s oyster reefs — we’ll visit their oyster shell pile along Buttermilk Channel and learn more about their restoration efforts before sitting down to a world-class dinner from the region’s breadth of culinary talent. As an extra treat, the Billion Oyster Project’s Executive Director, Pete Malinowski, is bringing in his family to help shuck some briny beauties from Fishers Island Oyster Farm in the nearby Block Island Sound.
