– Lets visit ponds and pools around high Rock park and watch dragonflies, while learning all about their lifecycles – The Strawberry bush (Euonymus americanus) is a beautiful native plant that is unfortunately endangered in NYS but fortunately grows right here in the Greenbelt. Help us protect this important plant from hungry deer by joining the GCC installing fencing in High Rock Park. Be prepared to work outside in various weather conditions, wear sturdy footwear and please bring water and a snack. – Greenbelt Summer Adventure - Ages 12-15 Youth will work collaboratively on team and community-building activities, while learning essential outdoor skills, and develop their own leadership styles. – Water is an essential element for all life on our planet. Including us!! Children and their caregiver will join our environmental educators in discovering the amazing and unique characteristics of water thorough hands-on science experiments and activities. Ages 5-7yrs with caregiver - Tickets cost $20.00 During the course of the program, participants will take a nature walk to gather leaves (weather-permitting), then have the opportunity to paint/print/make books inspired by the leaves for themselves and contribute components to be used in a fiber arts mural. This project is funded in part by a DCA Art Fund Grant from Staten Island Arts with public funding from the NYC Department of Cultural Affairs. Age 5+. Free.
