Testimonials about Our Initiatives

“I have yet to encounter a program as thoughtful and dynamic as Explore Birds. Georgia has partnered with us for two school years and has done an astonishing job of inspiring our students to see the city and their lives in a new way. I have been lucky to witness first-hand her incredible capacity for helping early adolescents forge authentic and immediate connections to urban ecology.”

– Devan A., Middle School Science Teacher, NYC

“Washington Square Park Eco Projects have set up an easy system to make anyone feel a part of their community and their project! Through participation in the portal, I felt I was able to contribute to a larger environmental study and provide assistance to current research.”

– Student in the Ecological Field Methods course at NYU
