Field Trips at the S1 Environmental Education Center<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Our NEW Environmental Education Center is hosting indoor-outdoor field trips for NYC students. Nestled within a native plants-park, powered by solar, and resilient to floods, our center serves as an example of climate resilient design for our students, as well as the home for our GDL hands-on learning (including our popular solar circuits class and beyond!). Scroll down on our Explorable Places site to sign up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
