I think it would be a good idea to have a more substantive summary here, i.e. address specifically that you will be documenting the changes in Flushing Meadows from salt marsh to dump to world’s fair to present ecological restoration efforts.
Can you think of a way to organize the pictures so that they tell some kind of a story?

One other thing…you need a more informative title and a list of your full names as the authors!
As for all of the other groups, you should also give some description of where the park is located (e.g. what neighborhoods surround it) and how big it is!
