The Four Coves Biodiversity Project (FCBP) is a multi-year community effort to identify, catalogue, and monitor the diverse species found in the Muscota Marsh, Inwood Hill Cove, North Cove, and Sherman Creek areas. The project values urban green spaces as both places of recreation for humans and vital refuges for a diverse range of plant and animal species. Using existing study methods developed specifically for NYC natural areas by the Museum of Natural History, volunteers of all ages, interest, and education levels combine efforts to better understand the unique ecosystems of Northern Manhattan and to become effective citizen scientists and advocates for our natural spaces. Currently we partner with New York Restoration Project and other groups, and work in concert with the biodiversity study of Natural Areas Conservancy, the partner of the NYC Parks.
