Denyse Wharf gets a springtime spruce up
Volunteers clean historic Bay Ridge spot
As part of his ongoing effort to convince the city that Denyse Wharf is a perfect spot for a marine science lab, a retired high school assistant principal led a group of volunteers in a cleanup of the Revolutionary War pier at the foot of Verrazano-Narrows Bridge in Bay Ridge on a recent Saturday.
Thomas Greene, who served for many years as the assistant principal of science at Fort Hamilton High School in Bay Ridge, organizes groups of volunteers, mostly teenagers, to conduct major cleanups at Denyse Wharf twice a year, in the fall and spring.
The wharf is largely unused and is badly in need of renovation, according to Greene.
