urban outdoors

Wow!... The Urban Divers, brings a lot great programs to the community, particularly in the work that they do around environmental literacy and connecting our young people and adults too to the natural resources of the neighborhood.

Their EnviroMedia Mobile- an amazing traveling Nature & Maritime Museum on wheel is kicking off the season with a series of family fun weekend events in waterfront recreation, environmental literacy, culture and maritime enrichment that will held monthly at ERIE BASIN Park, in Red Hook...next to IKEA. Entrance on Beard Street & Dwight.

Check out this emailed blurb and the weblink to learn more... I love the Giant Earth Ball thing, the Recycling and the Open Piano on the Soap Box...very cool...any talented member of the audience can sign up to play and share a song. What a fantastic way to also celebrate and nurture our very own human ecology. I saw their urban birds of prey education program, which they presented last year under a big tipi, at the same location in celebration of the 400th anniversary of the Hudson...very exciting and very informative. Great program for the entire family. Got so excited I became a regular volunteer. Yes... they can use a lot of help there too.

Here it is...
