Jersey City Reservoir

Our Saturday event got started, but we got chased away by some intense thunderstorms.

Nature Day is rescheduled for tomorrow, with games and nature skills starting promptly at noon, and one Scavenger Hunt at 1 pm. The gate will be open from noon to about 2pm. See you there!

At Jersey City’s Reservoir’s Nature Day, the fun will start Saturday morning as participants connect to nature in our community. Students, seniors and families will explore the ecology of the Reservoir, participate in an environmental scavenger hunt, and learn some basic survival skills. There will be prizes and giveaways.

Nature can seem far from us as city people, but global warming and events like Hurricane Katrina show how environmental disruption affects everyone deeply. Reservoir Nature Day participants can help protect our environment’s future.

Schedule

• Scavenger Hunts will start at 11 and 1, with a Mini-Hunt at 3. Teams will explore the water, trees, bugs, and plant species of the Reservoir.
• Games to test your awareness will start at 10:30, 12:30, and 2:30.
• Learn wilderness and survival skills throughout the day.
• Jersey City Reservoir’s Nature Day will happen from 10 until 4 on Saturday, August 2, at the Jersey City Reservoir 3, Pershing Plaza Gate, across from Summit Avenue and Troy Street.

Nature is all around us, even in Jersey City, and our goal is stir passion and curiosity and start residents on an adventure in our environment, beginning at our Reservoir!

A special thanks to all those who made this possible - the City of Jersey City, Mayor Jerramiah Healy, the Municipal Council, Mariano Vega, President, the Division Of Cultural Affairs, and to all our sponsors including HSBC bank.
