This is what parts of Tibbetts Brook looks like because people throw trash out their car windows or while walking/biking along the bike path. This “trash island” has about doubled in size since in about 6 months. Please don’t trash our beloved brook.

No, we didn't spot Santa yesterday, but we found another visitor. This seal spent its Christmas sunbathing at Orchard Beach #intheBronx! In the wintertime, seals migrate south to NYC's ice-free waters for easier fishing. #WildlifeWednesday

Lehman’s School of Natural & Social Sciences has entered into a fruitful research collaboration w/ @friendsofvcp—in exchange for access to the School's x-ray fluorometry lab to test park soil for pollutants, Lehman researchers will gain valuable insight into the study.
