The Center and Sarah Lawrence College
Launched June 2013, the Center for the Urban River at Beczak (CURB) is an alliance of Sarah Lawrence College and the Beczak Environmental Education Center. 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.Instagram slccurb
Last week we installed our fyke net and today we caught our first 3 glass eels! Thanks to Aidan from the DEC for helping out with this afternoon's sampling! #hudsonriverestuary #Americaneel #glasseel #migration #research #sarahlawrencecollege
A little bit of ice isn't going to keep us from collecting data on the Hudson River. #winter #seining #hudsonriver #yonkers #science
This afternoon we took advantage of the warmer weather to do some winter seining. The water temperature along the Yonkers shoreline was a balmy 38°. #hudsonriver #yonkers #icefishing #seining #research #winter #sarahlawrencecollege
CURB was happy to host the 3rd Annual "Angel Project." This event, organized by Senator Andrea Stewart-Cousins, saw over 80 grandparents raising grandchildren receive presents for the holidays. #angelproject #happyholidays #yonkers #community
