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

The Lower Hudson Partnership (LHP) is excited to announce a return to our volunteer-led water quality sampling program! Please join us virtually for an introduction to the 2021 sampling season on April 8th, from 6-7:30pm. This is an opportunity for you to learn how to collect a water sample and record observational data using our COVID protocols, learn about the highlights from the last water quality sampling season, and get to know other samplers. Note that this training is mandatory to be able to participate as a volunteer.

What's the big d-EEL with American eels? At CURB, we spend a lot of time working with these little guys for the NYS DEC Migratory Eel Study. Why? Because eels are an integral species in our estuary and other freshwater habitats!
From February to May, Glass eels make their way through the Hudson River estuary as a part of their migration. On their journey, organizations like CURB collect data to track the eels' migration patterns. Check out the photos or visit https://www.centerfortheurbanriver.org/research/eels.html for more cool information about the American eel!

We can't wait to be back down by the river with our friends! #berniesmittens #HudsonRiver #seining #yonkers
No signs of ice here in Yonkers as water temperatures remain too warm. Colder weather is expected this week so the water should begin to cool down a bit. Daily water temperatures are running in the upper 30's. #HudsonRiver #Yonkers #water #winter #riverice
