We regret that all Saturday programming at Gantry Plaza State Park and Idlewild Park must be cancelled for logistical reasons beyond the control of our volunteers, most notably the likely dangerous water quality that will follow today’s flooding.

Aggravating this infrastructure problem is the projected — and already experienced — increasing frequency and severity of flooding and storm surges due to the unfolding climate crisis. Please read more about those concerns here:

THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT!
