Universidad Rey Juan Carlos (Spain)\nCoord. Center for Postcolonial S tudies\, KOIZ (Basque Country) \nThis session is designed to spark reflect ion on how parks can be used as spaces for intergenerational learning\, en vironmental activism\, and well-being. By exchanging experiences and best practices\, we can find new ways to strengthen the role of urban parks in New York as hubs for ecological awareness and community engagement. \nIn t his talk\, Professor Coro J-A Juanena\, PhD will be sharing inspiring stor ies and practical strategies from European urban parks that have successfu lly integrated environmental education into their daily life\, with a part icular focus on initiatives that engage older adults as key actors in the learning process. \nThis event will be interactive\, encouraging participa nts to share their thoughts\, memories\, and experiences with nature in ur ban parks. A combination of storytelling\, visual presentations\, and open discussions will make the session engaging and accessible for all. Partic ipants will also be invited to explore simple ways they can contribute to environmental awareness in their own parks and neighborhoods. \nUrban park s are not just green spaces; they are living classrooms where people of al l ages connect with nature\, culture\, and community. As cities grow and e nvironmental concerns become more pressing\, parks play a crucial role in fostering awareness\, resilience\, and a sense of collective responsibilit y towards nature. \nCoro J-A Juanena\, PhD is a Professor at Universidad R ey Juan Carlos (Spain) and our speaker for the event. Dr. Juanenas unique European educational experience and practical strategies\, along with insp iring stories\, will enrich our communitys engagement with nature. \nRegis ter for the event here.

Conservancy staff use the Compost Compound to drop off woody debris\, leaves\, weeds\, and invasive plants that they have remove d from other areas of the Park. We then process these materials on-site by composting. The compost is then incorporated back into the Parks soil. By retaining all of the weeds\, twigs\, and branches and composting them\, w e are closing the loop. The Compost Compound successfully diverts hundred s of cubic yards of plant material from ending up in a landfill and reduce s the need for carting ' thereby reducing emissions involved in transporti ng the material off site.
