Urban Ecology (SSP) for Grades 6 - 12 - 2026
Description
Explore urban ecology through a working rooftop farm. This advanced workshop is designed for middle and high school students and offers a deeper look at green infrastructure and urban ecosystems. Students examine how green roofs and urban agriculture manage stormwater, reduce urban heat, support biodiversity, and address climate change. Through hands-on investigation of ecosystems, food webs, plant science, and urban food systems, students gain a deeper understanding of how cities can integrate nature and build climate-resilient communities.
