Seventh Class: Fresh Kills Landfill

On Saturday, October 25, we're heading to the Fresh Kills landfill with the New York City Department of Parks and Recreation.

Please rendezvous at 11:15 am at the main entrance to the Staten Island Ferry terminal in lower Manhattan.

--To get there, you should leave the Williams Club at about 10:45 am.

--Head over to Grand Central station and take the downtown 4 or 5 subway to Bowling Green.

--Then walk three blocks south on State Street to the Staten Island Ferry Terminal.

--We will catch the 11:30 am ferry to Staten Island to meet up with the Parks Department bus on the other side. (The ferry ride is about 25 minutes and we're meeting the bus at noon on the "taxi" level of the terminal in Staten Island.)

The bus tour will last about two hours, so we should get back into Manhattan at 2:30 or 3 pm.
