On October 1st, Mrs. Schlitzer’s Urban Ecology juniors from the Environmental Science Academy traveled to New York City to explore the High Line and Little Island. Students experienced firsthand how green spaces enhance urban environments and support biodiversity. Along the High Line, they observed the integration of nature into the city landscape, while at Little Island, they completed an ecological scavenger hunt. The trip provided a valuable opportunity to connect classroom concepts to real-world examples of urban ecology and sustainable city design.
