Environmental Education in NYC.... Tuesday, September 23rd.

TIME: 4:30 pm to 7:00 pm

LOCATION: Pier 66 Maritime, Hudson River Park at 26th Street

 

Please join The River Project,  New York City Soil and Water Conservation District, and Wallerstein Collaborative for Urban Environmental Education at NYU Steinhardt for New York City Outdoors! An Environmental Education Expo.
 
The Expo showcases the environmental education resources for New York City teachers and educators, in hopes that more children will have the opportunity to experience and learn about the natural features of our city.  Over thirty different organizations, such as the Bronx River Alliance, NYS Department of Environmental Conservation, Staten Island Botanical Garden, Hudson River Park Trust and NYC Department of Sanitation, will be exhibiting their in-class or field trip environmental education programs.  In addition to exhibitors, the Expo will feature demonstrations, such as testing the Hudson River water, observing live raptors native to our city, and fishing on the Hudson River. 
 
The Expo will connect exhibiting organizations to the various units of the Science Scope and Sequence, recently released and mandated by the NYC Department of Education.  Teachers will have the opportunity to network, share ideas, and discuss how to incorporate New York City's nature into their instruction. 

Great door prizes, a fantastic view of the Hudson River and refreshments are offered.
 
This FREE event takes place Tuesday, September 23, 2008, from 4:30-7:00 PM, at Pier 66 Maritime, the Barge at the Frying Pan, Hudson River Park at 26th Street.
