LEONIA, NJ – Teaneck Creek Conservancy joined various environmental and conservation organizations in participating in Leonia Middle School’s Earth Day Expo.
Organizations set up booths, which students were able to visit during their lunch periods, with environment-related information to educate and inspire students to care for our planet,
TCC's Conservancy Associate, Stephanie Landau, set up a fun and educational booth, enabling students to wonder about Spring time changes, create eco-art with nature items Stephanie gathered from around the school, and investigate nature treasures from Teaneck Creek.
“How many different species wake up from hibernation?” one student asked. “Do blossoms know what time of year it is to grow up?” wondered another. “How do trees survive in the winter?”
The Expo piqued curiosity and interest about the natural world in Leonia Middle Schoolers, and TCC is glad to have had the opportunity to help educate the next generation of planetary change makers.
