Multiple events (map only)Global Wind Day
The New Jersey Chapter of the Sierra Club, NJ Wind Works Coalition, and various environmental and environmental justice partners will be hosting an event to celebrate Global Wind Day and show support for responsible offshore wind development and clean energy more broadly at Liberty State Park.
This family-friendly event will have music, a speaking program, offshore wind coloring books, pinwheels and kites, and more, all with the iconic New York City skyline and Lady Liberty in the background! We encourage folks to bring family and friends and make the day at one of New Jersey's most treasured urban state parks and enjoy the June sunshine and outdoors with us.
Stay tuned for more details and feel free to contact Jackie Greger with any questions at jackie.greger@sierraclub.org.
