The Bronx River is a rich learning laboratory and the only freshwater river in the city
Our Education program works as a bridge to connect youth to career opportunities and avenues for engagement in environmental fields and to authentically engage in science, environmental policy, education, and advocacy.
We do this by offering high-quality interactive STEAM programming, professional development support for educators, connections to larger community science programming, and access to equipment and materials to investigate the rich resources of the Bronx River.
Take a look at our Education Program Plan Executive Summary here to learn more about our strategies.
The Alliance’s Education Program works together with schools and community-based organizations to provide engaging, hands-on opportunities for youth and educators to use the Bronx River watershed as an outdoor classroom, and make connections with local and global issues.

The Living Laboratory offers support and resources to a growing number of teachers and community educators/learners who use, or would like to use, the Bronx River and adjacent areas as outdoor classrooms.
We provide teachers and community-based educators with:
These help your students and staff become more aware of the river, understand its importance and work together to take part in its protection.
Students use the river as a learning laboratory. Many exceptional individual and class projects have used the ecological restoration and conservation efforts of the river as research topics. We’re always looking for partners and students to participate in research!
The Bronx River Alliance serves as a coordinated voice for the river and works in harmonious partnership to protect, improve and restore the Bronx River corridor so that it can be a healthy ecological, recreational, educational and economic resource for the communities through which the river flows.
The Alliance works in close partnership with the New York City Department of Parks & Recreation and with over one hundred other partners to reclaim the Bronx River.
