Beach Plums and Goldenrod at Plumb Beach, Brooklyn

Time: Sunday, September 3rd, 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.
Location: Plumb Beach Round House

Explore the ever-changing Plumb Beach with American Littoral Society naturalist Mickey Maxwell Cohen. Discover its early autumn beauty, replete with groves of seaside goldenrod and ripened beach plums. Learn about heroic efforts to halt the most severe beach erosion in our area. Binoculars and a magnifying glass will be helpful. This is an American Littoral Society / GNRA Partnership Program.  

DIRECTIONS TO PLUMB BEACH:
By car:  Eastbound on the Belt Pkwy. Entrance to Plumb Beach parking is from the eastbound side, just east of Knapp Street exit. Careful, it's very easy to miss.  
Public transportation: B or Q-train to Sheepshead Bay and then the B-4 bus to Knapp Street. Check Sunday train schedules ahead of time.

It's an easy 10-minute walk from the corner of Emmons Ave. and Knapp Street. Walk along the pedestrian walk, eastbound, with the water to your right and the Belt Parkway to your left. You can't miss the parking lot. We'll meet at the art deco "round house" at 10:30. If you arrive late, we'll walk slowly along the beach to the left (east), with a couple of detours into the dunes.
