The Battery Conservancy

• Staff-Led Field-Trips: "On Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays this spring, we welcome full classes to visit The Battery for 75-minute field trips led by our education staff.  We offer a range of lesson topics for these trips; explore our offerings and sign up for a slot at the link above.  After your field trip, stick around the park to enjoy our brand new Playscape!"

• Self-Guided Field Trips: "We provide a lesson plan and materials so you can bring your class to the park on your own schedule.  Elementary age groups will explore the ecology of the park through the lens of changing seasons on our Spring at The Battery walk, and older groups can choose between walks that relate to History, Public Green Space, or the Food System.  Sign up for a slot at the link above."

Stewardship Lab: "If you work with an elective class or after-school club and would like to set up recurring visits to the Battery Urban Farm, please join our Stewardship Lab program. Stewardship Lab groups visit weekly or every other week, working directly with our staff to maintain our public green space and grow food for donation to local food relief organizations.  Activities include the planting and harvest of our vegetable and forest farms, with opportunities to monitor the ecological health of our terrestrial and marine ecosystems.  Time commitments are flexible depending on group needs, and we can work with you to tailor the focus of each trip toward content that is most useful to you.  Available April through October; ideal for Middle and High School groups.  If you are interested in participating in this program, please fill out the Stewardship Lab interest form."
