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
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

CURB participated in the 18th Annual Day in the Life of the Hudson and Harbor event, organized by the @nysdec and Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory. Participants from over 50 sites sampled the Hudson River, collecting valuable data on water quality and the health of the river. This was the first time that the event was held virtually, with live streams and videos recorded for participating schools. #hudsonriverestuary #yonkers #water #fish #research #waterquality #students #teachers #sarahlawrencecollege
Yesterday our staff had a busy day filming content for virtual lessons. They decided to wrap up the day with some Hudson River seining. This was our first time seining since the start of the pandemic and it was a great catch! Check out the video! #hudsonriver #seining #yonkers #fish #nature #research #sarahlawrencecollege
