High School Watch, Queens
For the past two years, NNYN has teamed up with the CUNY Institute for Virtual Enterprise, offering workshops, seminars and courses to minority students. Here, naturalist Dave Rosane and a class from a Brooklyn high school watch as migrants arrive to nest in the salt marshes of Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge. They observe male tree swallows jostling for territorial sovereignty - in midair. For most students, a trip to NY's nature is a first time experience in "the wild". Most have never left the City in their lifetime.
About Our Art Prints
Signed art prints donated by three extraordinary artists are available for purchase in our art prints store, to support the programs we are engaged in. The prints include, among others, "Last Turn Your Turn" created by Robert Rauschenberg for the Earth Summit, Christo sketches of "The Gates,” a public art event by Christo and his wife Jeanne Claude that drew millions to Central Park, and "Manifest Destiny," by Alexis Rockman, showing New York City underwater in the future as a result of climate change.
