The urban Ecologists spent a day this summer kayaking on the Genesee River and Erie Canal. The Waterways Center at Genesee Valley Park, which rents kayaks and canoes, is an awesome resource.

Urban Ecologists volunteering at the Children's Garden. Throughout the day, crops were harvested, weeds were pulled, and the fresh fruits and veggies were tasted..

Urban Ecologists visit many community gardens, learning about the importance of companion planting and other gardening practices.

Beyond visiting gardens, urban ecologists build and beautify gardens.

Washington Grove, a part of Cobbs Hill, is a fascinating forest in the middle of the city.
