Drop by for a special edition of BBP’s Education Station — at the entrance to Pier 1, directly across from the Pier 1 Pavilion — to get hands-on with the Park’s spectacular nature and make a nature-inspired art project. All ages are welcome to this free drop-in program.

This weekend, you might notice students and experts performing data collection throughout the Park. This “bioblitz” event is being done by the Park’s horticulture team in partnership with Macaulay Honors College, with the goal to observe and document the wide array of natural life living within the Park. Follow along to observe their findings on iNaturalist!

Inspired by this weekend of environmental monitoring, stop by our Education Station to make your own quadrat, which is a simple, square measuring tool that is used by scientists to visually estimate and sample the plants and life under it. Observe your own findings and learn the importance of our local ecology.
