Thanks to Boy Scout Pack 333 from Villa Maria Academy in the Bronx for joining us yesterday afternoon for seining. A great time was had by all with a nice catch of various river critters.

Welcome to the Center for the Urban River
Launched June 2013, the Center for the Urban River at Beczak (CURB) is an alliance of Sarah Lawrence College and the Hudson River Valley Environmental Education Institute.
The mission of CURB is to advance environmental knowledge and stewardship by providing high quality K-12 environmental education for the local community, establishing a regional hub for research and monitoring focused on Hudson River estuary and urban watershed issues, and serving as a welcoming open community space for a variety of civic and cultural activities. The Center occupies the former Beczak Environmental Education Center, a well-loved river exploration and interpretative center that has been offering programs for adults and children for over twenty years. Its name honors Joe Beczak, one of the Hudson River enthusiasts who taught children about the Hudson in the 1970s.

This afternoon we made recycled flower pots during our after school gardening program with the Lanza Learning Center. The children took home their pots and sunflower seeds to be replanted at their homes. #gardening #artsandcrafts #painting #recycledart
