Tito Kayak paddles the South Bronx with FoBP!


Friends of Brook Park was honored to outfit and guide the world renowned
environmental activist Tito Kayak of the Vieques movement, and other
efforts, on an exclusive tour of the waterways of the South, South Bronx.
The trip went south on the Harlem River, through the Bronx Kill, and into
the East River with a shoreline tour of North Brother Island. With a 4 foot
striped bass, swans, hawks, environmental devastation of Randall's Island
and more! Strong language. And freestyle rap at the end by Tito himself!
With BronxNet Director Michael aboard.

See the con ed electric feeder lines that block the Bronx Kill and prohibit
easy navigation between the East and Harlem Rivers.

Join our efforts to free the Bronx Kill, create official water access in the
South, South Bronx and preserve Randall's Island!
