Diversity grant for outdoor education in NYC

Our team was awarded a Diversity Initiative Grant from the Columbia Arts and Sciences Graduate Council for our project- E3Birders: The Manhattan Naturalists- seed funding to create K-12 education program for outdoor education in NYC Parks. Our team will take classes on walks in local parks to teach kids about urban wildlife, climate change, invasive species, and other conservation topics relevant to the management of parks. If you are an educator in NYC and interested in a nature-based education experience for your class in a local park, please email smk2258@columbia.edu. We will give priority to schools in northern Manhattan (north of 100th st).
