Our 6th Season of Water Justice Lab got off to a great start today, despite the rain. Our fellows & volunteers all made it to the lab, sampled water in the field, processed it, and recorded data. We’ll be back in the lab tomorrow to read the results so stay tuned! Learn more about what our WJL fellows do at mediasanctuary.org/wjl Thanks @riverkeeper for the ongoing collaboration & McCarthy Charities & Alfred Z. Solomon Charitable Trust for supporting this program. (fb)

Did you know our NATURE Lab yard is the process of becoming an outdoor learning space for climate resilience and environmental education? Just this week, we got permeable asphalt placed on the talking circle, which will be one of our outdoor gathering spaces. Stay tuned over the next year as we add a pavilion, rainwater catchment, and more art! In the meantime, you can stop by and enjoy the spring exuberance of Margaretha Haughwout's De-Fence Installation, which was installed last year and is flourishing. Thanks to the DEC Office of Environmental Justice for their support.
