Col. John R. Boulé II, commander of the New York District of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, speaks at a ribbon-cutting ceremony at the site of the Gerritsen Creek ecosystem restoration project with newly restored tidal wetlands visible behind him. Construction is complete on the project, which involved the restoration and/or construction of 18 acres of tidal wetland and 23 acres of rare coastal grassland habitats, and it will be back open to the public this fall after the newly placed plants have a chance to settle. The project was done in partnership with New York City Department of Parks and Recreation and includes accessibility for the surrounding communities to experience and learn about the natural environment around them.
