Mission

Alley Pond Environmental Center is dedicated to the environmental education of children and adults, protecting and preserving the many and varied habitats of Alley Pond Park, and advocating for sustainable environmental policies and practices.

Activities

Alley Pond Environmental Center's Field Biology Internship (FBI) introduces high school students to urban ecology, field biology, and careers in environmental science. The program is full of interesting topics that scientists encounter in their studies of the environment. From abiotic factors such as air, water, and soil quality to biotic factors like biodiversity and invasive species, students will experience new challenges each class. Each session (spring, summer, or fall) includes guest speakers, field trips, nature exploration, and hands-on science experiments.
