Exploring the balance between agriculture and wildlife conservation

 

TOUR DESCRIPTION

Join us for a guided tour of Staten Island aboard a small bus and learn about this unique agricultural landscape. This exclusive experience provides access to private areas that are not open to the public.

As you travel through the island, you’ll have the opportunity to see Sandhill Cranes, a wide variety of migratory birds, and other wildlife in habitats that support both farming and conservation. Along the way, expert guides will share how agricultural practices and habitat management work together to create a landscape where wildlife and agriculture thrive side by side.
