Shorewalkers, an environmental and walking group

by Bernice Hauser Primary Education Correspondent

Not many of us know about Shorewalkers, a nonprofit group which has been a leading advocate for preservation of our shores and waterfronts in the Connecticut-New York-New Jersey area. Since 1982, Shorewalkers has led invigorating walks exploring varied and extensive shore areas in and around New York City. Shorewalkers and its premier annual event, The Great Saunter, have won praise and recognition from civic leaders and New York State Legislators. Not only can you meet other urban explorers; you can also find individuals available to lead teachers, students, and other interested parties on walks around New York and the Jersey shore.

For more information, contact Shorewalkers, Box 20748, Cathedral Station, New York, NY 10025, (212)-330-7686. The annual membership fee is $15.
