Dear Subscribers, Friends, and Colleagues,

As you know Gateway has been closed since the evacuation notice was
given on Sunday, Oct. 28. But just after the storm an amazing team of
personnel assembled from NPS sites across the country has been working
on the recovery and rehabilitation of the park properties with the
primary goal of establishing the safety of all park employees and
visitors. After safety issues are addressed the operations have turned
to reopening areas of the park which can be used by visitors.

If you come to visit any of these areas you will see areas that have
been damaged by Sandy. Please exercise caution when walking or hiking
and be aware of debris and downed tree branches that have been set aside
for pick up.

We are pleased to announce that Great Kills and the Jamaica Bay Wildlife
Refuge will be open to the public beginning Friday, Nov. 23 for seasonal
hours and days of operation. Go here to see the press announcement:

http://www.nps.gov/gate/parknews/gkp-jbwr.htm which as of 2pm has not
been released. Check this link after 4pm for more details.

Thank you for your interest in Gateway;
have a wonderful Thanksgiving,
and practice safety in all your activities.
