Forest
Project Summer Collaborative
The Forest Project Summer Collaborative empowers teenagers
as citizens of an urban environment, and helps them
pursue academic and personal fulfillment. This program
uses Bronx natural areas and green spaces for ecological
study and job training. Earning wages from Wave Hill
and college credits from CUNY's Lehman College, basic
forest restoration is taught in the greater context
of an urban ecosystem, where woodland management connects
directly with air and water quality, wildlife habitat,
and biodiversity.
Three levels
of internships are offered based on experience and
high school grade completed, encouraging teenagers
to grow at Wave Hill by returning each summer for
new and increasingly challenging experiences. |
