Conservation is Going Virtual!

The conservation program is going virtual! Staff are working with 50 youth in an Urban Roots online program this summer. Those youth received an activity kit full of materials that each week they utilize to do activities and experiments at home to better understand the Conservation, Cook Fresh and Market Garden programs.

For Conservation, these youth have visited parks and learned to identify trees, used a plant press to make flower art, and have adopted and cleaned out storm drains in their neighborhoods.  As the summer program comes to an end, we are looking at ways to engage in our parks with youth this fall with a hybrid model of in person and distance work.
