Stewardship Savvy (Ages 9-12)

Does nature need our help? Come learn about Teatown’s preserve stewardship methods, discuss ways we can advocate for the environment and how we can inspire others. We will get our hands dirty by participating in a land management project that benefits the preserve, increases nature-awareness and builds self-esteem.
