This is a peaceful and calming place with scenic views of the harbor, surrounded by lots of plants, trees, and grass; making you feel zen and at peace. This grove is a diverse place with many different types of plants, trees, insects, flowers and birds. There are also four hammocks so you are able to lay down peacefully, either in the sun or the shade of the trees. With all of the fresh oxygen being created by the plants reducing the harmful gasses that are in the environment.  When you are at the hammock grove, there are no trash cans or nearby or vestibules selling any food close. This was done, to reduce the amount of rats/insects that would come to eat the trash. But people still eat there regardless, and the trash is just left on the ground causing two things, one the rats and insects will find it and start returning to the area and 2 the trash can decompose into the ground which adds greenhouse gasses into the atmosphere.


New York Harbor School Marine Affairs students will engage with partners to map Governors Island and its Climate Engagement. Students will create a Green Maps of Governors Islands' Relationship to SDGs - the Sustainable Development Goals, climate education, climate change vulnerabilities, innovation approaches to climate solutions, and bring waste to the visible eye. These maps will aid in students engaging in their community, displaying incorrectness and education to the public during climate week. Student-led and student-created. This will be something that will live and evolve each climate week as our city and world revolve around emerging climate issues. This student will swing back to update and evaluate our local and global progress.
