These images were shared with us by a class participant - Roger Dimit. Fall is an amazing time for color in the parks. Thanks for sharing your work with us Roger!

From October 12th to November 30th, the Frick Environmental Center is a drop off location for the The Women and Girls Foundation's GirlGov Community Care Donation Drive. A collection box will be located at the front desk for new, unopened, feminine and personal hygiene products.

Field sessions for our middle school Ecosystem Investigators program are currently taking place!

During this session, students investigate the forest ecosystem and look at interactions between trees, mushrooms, insects, and other organisms. These students from Propel Schools Montour found a Katydid during their exploration!

Katydids are relatives of crickets and grasshoppers. They are great at camouflaging since their bodies look like leaves, complete with veining patterns.
