After-School Nature Classes 

Nature and Gardening with Brooklyn Seeds
Prospect Park After School Wednesdays Spring ‘25
Registration opens February 27th!

Kids will discover rare plants and amazing animals in Prospect Park!  We will visit the highest point in Prospect Park and kids will learn to make bird calls as they observe  birds return for the great spring migration over our Atlantic flyway.  We learn the difference between the snapping turtle, the painted turtle and the invasive red-eared slider.  We identify invasive plants which are edible and others which are poisonous.  Kids will be able to tell the difference between the helpful earth worm and the destructive jumping worm.  We use invasive plants to make mason bee homes and musical instruments. As the weather warms, kids will visit nearby community gardens and plant and bring home both edible and air-cleaning plants.
