History
A vibrant aquatic ecosystem now exists in the Harlem Meer. Family Fishing Celebration, which took place on 6/25/11 from 12pm-3pm at the Charles A. Dana Discovery Center and Harlem Meer, teaches local residents about safe fishing practices. Our participatory dance performance about clean water added to the impact of the event. The Conservancy has put a great amount of resources into restoring and maintaining these landscapes over the last 15 – 20 years, and they host the fishing event to celebrate the aquatic ecosystem in the Harlem Meer.
