Bees Alive! is a program of the NYU Wallerstein Collaborative for Urban Environmental Education and Sustainability focused on pollinators and their essential contributions to food systems and ecosystems health.
Our primary goal is to promote environmental literacy through civic ecology practices and service learning activities. We provide opportunities for public school teachers, K-12 students and community members to connect to nature in urban settings while increasing biodiversity and enhancing the ecosystem services provided by pollinator gardens and native plants.
This program was made possible with funding from the Environmental Protection Agency, in partnership with NYC Audubon, Queens Botanical Garden, National Wildlife Federation, Natural Areas Conservancy, and P.S. 110.
