Ripples of Change: Scavenger Hunt & Zine Release Party
Celebrate the closing day of Climate Week NYC with an unforgettable afternoon of adventure, storytelling, and community spirit. We’re honoring 20 inspiring New Yorkers who are making nature in the city more accessible, from surfers riding the Rockaway waves to urban farmers growing fresh produce to surfers and kayakers reimagining our waterways. The afternoon will feature a community jam session plus an adventurous scavenger hunt.
🌊 The Adventure: The Ultimate Expedition
Kick things off with a Jumanji meets Survivor style scavenger hunt across Governors Island. Team up, follow clues, and tackle fun challenges while discovering the island’s hidden gems and natural wonders.
📖 The Celebration: Ripples of Change
After the hunt, join us for the release of our Ripples of Change zine, a scrapbook-style collection capturing the projects and accomplishments of these 20 changemakers over the summer. Enjoy music, conversation, and a toast to NYC’s ever-growing urban nature community.
