About this Event
Join the Jamaica Bay-Rockaway Parks Conservancy for Park Pals, a hands-on early childhood (0-6) series designed to spark curiosity, connection, and care for nature.
This session focuses on the special pollinators of Jamaica Bay and the unique coastal habitats where they can be found. We’ll explore and identify native pollinators like monarch butterflies, bumblebees, and cabbage moths, as well as their favorite snacks, such as milkweed, seaside goldenrod, and black-eyed susans.
This is a caregiver and me program, and we ask that adults stay with their children for the duration of the program. Due to limited indoor classroom space, we ask that only 1 adult sign up per family so that as many family groups can join as possible.
