Brooklyn Bridge Park Conservancy celebrates 2nd anniversary of Environmental Education Center
To celebrate the second anniversary of its Environmental Education Center, the Brooklyn Bridge Park Conservancy has invited the public to special open hours on Sunday, Sept. 10 from 1-5 pm. The day will feature puppet shows, animal feeding, craft projects and free refreshments.
The Ed Center serves as the home base for the Conservancy’s innovative education programming in Brooklyn Bridge Park. In its first two years, it hosted 18,857 students from school and camp programs.
Taking advantage of its unique waterfront location, the Center offers students and teachers one-of-a-kind experiences. The Great Brooklyn Bridge class, for example, allows students to tour the bridge and learn about engineering concepts, while the Awesome Oyster program empowers children to make scientific measurements through hands-on work with oysters.
