SUMMARY:Sherman Creek Environmental Science Series: Wetland Function\, Nutrient Cycling\, and Climate Resilience
DESCRIPTION: \nNew York Restoration Project (NYRP) is pleased to invite you to the Sherman Creek Environmental Science Series\, a three-part hybrid seminar series featuring leading scientists whose work has shaped our understanding of estuarine restoration\, water quality\, and wetland health in Northern Manhattan. \nThese sessions\, held in person at the Sherman Creek Center and online\, will explore critical environmental issues affecting Sherman Creek and the broader Harlem River estuary. The series is designed to be of interest to be accessible to community members while also helping inform the relaunch of our Sherman Creek Stewards volunteer and community science program. \nAll sessions will take place on Saturdays\, 10:00 AM–12:00 PM. \n \nWetland Function\, Nutrient Cycling\, and Climate Resilience + walking tour* \nDr. Mary Alldred\, Associate Professor\, Center for Earth and Environmental Science\, SUNY Plattsburgh \nDr. Alldred will present research on the development of ecosystem services\, including nitrogen-removal processes that improve local water quality\, during restoration of the wetlands in the Living Shoreline at Sherman Creek. She will share restoration techniques implemented to address challenges and successfully establish a functioning wetland ecosystem. Discussion will explore how to build on the successes and knowledge we have gained at Sherman Creek. \n \n*This session will include a guided tour of the Sherman Creek Living Shoreline. In-person attendance is strongly encouraged. \n \n \n
