The ecological health of the areas known as Gaelic Cove are unknown and understudied. If we do not know how these areas are doing, it is more difficult improve and protect the well-being of the area as a natural space and as a resource for the upper Manhattan community. </div></dd><dt name=\"textarea-1694626369303-0\">Describe your idea and approach to address the challenge:</dt><dd id=\"textarea-1694626369303-0\" name=\"textarea\"><div>I propose a research study to systematically measure and inventory the wetland areas in Inwood Hill Park that border Spuyten Duyvil Creek. This would involve identifying both native plants that are present that benefit the wetlands and invasive plants that have become established in the area, to better target their removal and monitor the restoration of these ecologically fragile areas. Other studies like this have been conducted in NYC natural areas including Pelham Bay Park and Central Park; it is time that the parks of northern Manhattan are given the love and attention they sorely need and deserve! This study could either be conducted by volunteers from local park groups in conjunction with the Parks Department, or by trained urban naturalists from the New York Botanical Gardens. The results could compare the historical records of plant species and identify species that have been lost from the park as an opportunity to reintroduce and enhance biodiversity. The final report could be published both academically in journals and also locally to show the Inwood and northern Manhattan community how our park has benefited from love, care, and attention. The project will promote and support evidence-based action to strengthen the health of the park for future generations to come and hopefully inspire a sense of community responsibility and natural stewardship among the people, particularly children and adolescents, who enjoy the park and all its resources. </div></dd><dt name=\"text-1695292616659-0\">Write the zipcode that best represents your New York City community:</dt><dd id=\"text-1695292616659-0\" name=\"text\"><div>10034</div></dd></dl></xml>"},"title":{"en":"Healthy Park research in Inwood wetlands"}}
