The Queens County Bird Club is hosting a presentation on the award-winning documentary film “Saving Jamaica Bay” by Producer Daniel Hendrick. He will discuss the environmental challenges that Jamaica Bay is facing. “Saving Jamaica Bay” tells the story of how one community—led by a family with roots in the area stretching back more than 100 years—fought the government and overcame Hurricane Sandy to clean up and restore the largest open space in New York City, which had become a dumping ground for garbage, sewage, sludge and bullet-riddled mobsters.
