The expansion of ongoing education and stewardship programs to teach at-risk youth about the Brooklyn waterfront's history, habitat and ecology.

Brooklyn, NY has the lowest amount of green space per capita of any U.S. county. Many Brooklyn children have limited access to the natural environment. The Conservancy is offering a three-program approach that will introduce school kids and day campers to their environment. This 30-month project will include: educational programming in the Park during the school year, a 'Green Team' stewardship program providing community service options for young people, and a summer Harbor Camp for day camp groups. The Conservancy seeks to serve approximately 4,600 young people within the project's timeframe. NCA/NCF
