  • Early Steps Celebration 30Th Anniversary Thursday, May 18, 2017 the University Club New York, NY
    Benefit Early Steps Celebration 30th Anniversary Thursday, May 18, 2017 The University Club New York, NY Early Steps 540 East 76th Street • New York, NY 10021 www.earlysteps.org • 212.288.9684 Horace Mann School and all of our Early Steps students and families, past and present, join in celebrating Early Steps’ 30 Years as A Voice for Diversity in NYC Independent Schools Letter from our Director Dear Friends, For nearly three decades, it has been my joy and re- sponsibility to guide the parents of children of color through the process of applying to New York City in- dependent schools for kindergarten and first grade, helping them to realize their hopes and dreams for their children. While over 3,500 students of color entered school with the guidance of Early Steps, it is humbling to know that the impact has been so much greater. We hear time and © 2012 Victoria Jackson Photography again how families, schools and lives have been trans- formed as a result of the doors of opportunity that were opened with the help of Early Steps. Doors where academic excellence is the norm and children learn and play with others whose life’s experiences are not the same as theirs, benefitting all children. We are proud of our 30-year partnership with now over 50 New York City independent schools who nurture, educate and challenge our children to be the best that they can be. They couldn’t be in better hands! Tonight we honor four Early Steps alumni. These accomplished young adults all benefited from the wisdom of their parents who knew the importance of providing their children with the best possible education beginning in Kindergarten.

  • Henry Hudson Park, 2007
    Natural Area Mapping and Inventory of Henry Hudson Park 2007 Survey Prepared by the Natural Resources Group Michael R. Bloomberg, Mayor Adrian Benepe, Commissioner Bill Tai, Director January 8, 2008 Henry Hudson Park Natural Area Mapping & Inventory 9.81 acres Introduction City of New York Parks & Recreation (DPR) manages one of the most extensive and varied park systems of any city in the world. These 29,000 acres of city park property occupy about 15 percent of New York City’s total area. In addition to flagship parks such as Central Park and Prospect Park, the city’s parklands include over 11,000 acres of natural areas. Until the 1980’s, the Parks Department was primarily concerned with developed landscapes and recreation facilities rather than natural areas. In the absence of a comprehensive management policy, these areas succumbed to invasive species, pollution and erosion. In 1984, Parks established the Natural Resources Group (NRG) with a mandate to acquire, restore and manage natural areas in New York City. The wetlands, forests, meadows, and shorelines under NRG’s jurisdiction provide valuable habitat for hundreds of species, from rare wildflowers to endangered birds of prey. In addition to the goals mentioned above, NRG serves as a clearinghouse for technical research to aid in the protection and restoration of the city's natural resources. This inventory of Henry Hudson Park was conducted in 2007 as part of NRG’s commitment to improving the natural areas of New York City parks. Henry Hudson Park, named after the famed English explorer, is located in the Bronx, between Palisade Avenue and Independance Avenue.

We accomplished so much this year– both here in our own neighborhood and in Albany. And next year is a leap year, so we have an extra day to do even more good things! We need to fight on many fronts for our community. It seems we are constantly facing battles, new and old, sometimes by government and sometimes by private interests such as developers. For example, the MTA plans to make huge cuts to express bus service in our district. Unacceptable! The NYC Department of Environmental Protection plans to permanently keep empty the northern basin of the historic Jerome Park Reservoir. Disgusting! And it appears that a previously defeated development proposed for Riverdale Avenue may be rearing its ugly head again. Outrageous! COMMUNITY SUPPORTING EACH OTHER: Each year, my office organizes a holiday These are just three examples of why it is so important canned food drive to support two local food pantries that serve our community in the 81st Assembly District: for local residents to be involved, active, and vocal Kingsbridge Heights Community Center and St.

  • Hudson River Almanac: a Day in the Life of the Hudson 2011
    HUDSON RIVER ALMANAC for OCTOBER 18, 2011 A DAY IN THE LIFE OF THE HUDSON RIVER Compiled by Steve Stanne, Hudson River Estuary Program Education Coordinator New York State Department of Environmental Conservation <<<<< OVERVIEW >>>>> This special Hudson River Almanac offers a snapshot of the ninth annual “Day in the Life of the Hudson River,” during which students sampled the Hudson from its non-tidal reaches above Troy to the Lower Bay of New York Harbor. Over 3,200 participants visited 64 sites, learning about their piece of the river and – by sharing their data online – putting it in the context of the entire system. The entries in this journal came from students, classroom teachers, environmental educators, and “runners” who visited multiple sites to document activities and pick up samples for later testing. <<<<< HIGHLIGHT OF THE DAY >>>>> Schodack Island, HRM 133: A Day in the Life was anxiously awaited by all. As the Doane Stuart School students arrived there was much buzz about all the cool things we would be doing. The children had not done the program before and loved every minute of it. I, having been there for several years, was a little sad. There were so many signs of the flooding from Tropical Storm Irene – dried cracked mud where there used to be grass and plants. When we tried to seine we could only walk down the boat ramp about eight feet before our waders got mired in mud above our ankles. On the bright side, we got a 6½” striper that thrilled the kids and a net full of spottail shiners - proof that nature recovers.
