The National Park Service (NPS) recently kicked off a Stewardship Plan for the East and West Pond area of the Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge at Gateway National Recreation Area. Through this planning effort, NPS will work with the community to develop strategies for resource protection, education and interpretation, and visitor experience at this beloved natural area. NPS is currently seeking input from visitors and stakeholders on issues to be addressed or evaluated in this plan. Interested members of the public are invited to attend the virtual open house on May 17 at 7:00 pm.
Participants are encouraged to submit questions in advance of the event by emailing Gateway_Feedback@nps.gov. Public comments on the plan will be accepted through June 7. More info is available at the registration site for the May 17 meeting.
