Hello GoGreeners,
This, week, we celebrate Eco-Hero Steve Chesler and his work with Bushwick Inlet Park and Transmitter Park. Also, our friends from Eco-Schools sent us an article about the importance & benefits of Sensory Based Play & Exploration at P.S. 31.
And in keeping with our article on Steve and his work with the development of our waterfront parks, our featured events are Stephen Levin's Waterfront Zoning Certification info session tonight and Daffodil Planting in Transmitter Park on Saturday. Find wonderful "Greenspace" events on our online calendar: community meetings, a group bike ride, a printmaking class, and a dance party fundraiser are just a few this week. So many ways to have fun and get involved in our community! So many ways to make our life greener! Check them all out on the Go Green BK online calendar.
See you all around the neighborhood!
Go Green BK!
