Field Station

Riverfront environmental research and workforce development
This project repurposes previously developed land at the intersection of 51st Street and Botanic Avenue — just north of the Garden’s public dock — to establish a new resource for workforce development, climate resilience, river access, and urban environmental research and propagation. Accessible via the Bartram’s Mile Trail, the project will also include visitor amenities like a welcome space, restrooms, and seating.
