Every New Years Day for the past 31 years, Staten Island Environmentalists have gathered at Great Kills Park, part of Gateway National Recreation Area to take a mile and a half beach walk. This tradition has become a way to review the past year's environmental highlights and to inform each other about upcoming issues affecting our environment. Also it is a great opportunity to see friends. I took the walk miked up and did a bit of narration. You will hear that, along with the sound of the wind, ocean and my fellow walkers.
