Weekend Nature Exploration: Earth Month

Join Prospect Park Alliance Naturalists to discover nature in Prospect Park through seasonal discovery stations and nature activities that will introduce you to the plants, insects and animals that call the park home. In April, bring the whole family to help protect the lakeshore, where every small act of care keeps the water clean, the birds safe and the park beautiful for everyone. Test the water quality and investigate pond samples filled with living organisms.
