ACTION visits North Brother Island

ACTION, a teen activist group at THE POINT CDC, has teamed up with NYC Audubon over the past few years as part of our environmental education and stewardship initiative. This video is about one of the trips we made to North Brother Island (off the coast of Hunts Point) to remove invasive plant species on the island. It took place on Election Day 2009, a day off from school.
