Join us as we explore Iona Island along the Hudson River. The last NYFA trip led to this unique island was on July 31st, 1993 where the group noted 85 species, including many sedges, grasses, interesting wildflowers, and some emerging non-native species at the time. On our return trip 33 years later we will retrace the foot steps of that trip, exploring the tidal marsh edges, rocky summits, and weedy areas around the old Navy building to see how many of the same species we can find, and how many news ones we can document on the island.

NYFA relies on the generous support of its members to offer free Field Trips and Learn 10 workshops. If you are able, please consider a donation to help support these efforts. Suggested Donation is $10.
