A day on Governors Island

Governors Isand (https://govisland.com/ ) is a 172-acre island in New York Harbor, approximately 800 yards from the southern tip of Manhattan Island and separated from Brooklyn by Buttermilk Channel, approximately 400 yards. It is part of the borough of Manhattan in New York City. The National Park Service administers a small portion of the north of the island as the Governors Island National Monument, while the Trust for Governors Island operates the remaining 150 acres, including 52 historic buildings. Today, Governors Island is a popular seasonal destination open to the public between May and September with a 43-acre public park completed between 2012-2016, free arts and cultural events, and recreational activities.It has not been open many years and my feeling was that there is still much work to do here and much potential.  

Our first stop is the urban farm, which you can read about here

 
 
The goats are kept solely for thier 'poop' 
Peas and Carrots are a couple of months old.


Peas takes a liking to me
