The event will include several free activities that the whole family can enjoy:

• “Always Bee Learning” tools for kids: coloring sheets, microscopes, specimens, books, and more.
• Bee “Flash Cards” that help you distinguish bees from each other, as well as wasps and other look-alikes.
• Opportunities to engage in community science in NYC using the iNaturalist app.

2. Composting at WTC Smorgasburg

 Common Ground Compost will launch the first-ever WTC composting pilot in partnership with Smorgasburg. A waste collection station will be set up at Smorgasburg, where food vendor waste will be collected, sorted, weighed, and redirected to compost as feasible. The metrics collected will help inform the Port Authority's Zero Waste program.

Time: 11 am - 7 pm
