Of its 550 acres, 150 are upland, including the Greenwich Village sheltered coast biome composed of various microhabitats, containing vegetation from Asters to Zelkovas harboring creatures from Asian Lady Beetles to Yellow-bellied Sapsuckers in season, and the Tribeca exposed coast biome with Bosnian pines to Witch Hazel and American Lady butterflies to Yellow Warblers . The remaining 400 acres, or 73 percent, comprise the Hudson River estuarine sanctuary, where salt water meets, mixes, and mingles with fresh water creating a zone of biodiversity filled with diving ducks, dabbling ducks, geese and gulls, eels and oysters, and other aquatic life.Review the List of Wonders.
Take a HRP Companion (virtual) Walk to familiarize yourself with the Greenwich Village segment (or the Tribeca segment).
