Fostering environmental stewardship through volunteer work and eco-friendly initiatives both within the school and with partnerships in their local community like a Trashion show and film screenings.

Support for bird-related educational signs along the Center’s trails, deepening of bird-related conservation programming by providing tools for their education team to utilize while teaching and by adding to passive educational opportunities along Woodcock’s four miles of publicly accessible trails.

Extend educational programming with City Growers youth and staff to attend immersive, intergenerational on-farm Program aimed at expanding their knowledge of gardening, food justice, and community building particularly within urban communities.

Pair classroom learning with hands-on experiences in a school garden to foster student appreciation of what goes into the food that winds up on their plates.

This project will continue increasing awareness and understanding of climate change-affected, water-related risks as a way to mobilize New Haven residents to participate in community-led actionable solutions and stewardship.
