Greener JC 2020 Internship Program

This summer, in collaboration with Jersey City Recreation and Youth Development, Greener JC hosted a six week internship program that provided opportunities for 21 Jersey City students to gain valuable knowledge, experience, and mentorship in the fields of environmental science, sustainability, and biology.

Birding

Bioblitz

Bioblitz

Students conducted surveys of the bird diversity in Liberty State Park’s Caven Point. Caven Point is particularly important for migratory birds, and given the ecological sensitivity of this ecosystem, access on the interior boardwalk and natural beach are closed between April and October in order to protect nesting habitat for seasonal birds. Greener JC has received approval from the NJDEP to access Caven Point for this project.
