On May 30, NYA celebrated spring with our friends at Gibson House Museum. We were happy to be on-site to help usher in their new Heritage Garden with our pollinator puppet workshop and a garden arts installation, featuring artist Charmaine Lurch. Eco-arts are a great way to learn about and be engaged in our environment.
Much like how our eco-system works together to support a healthy, sustainable environment, this past weekend we were reminded of the importance of working together and creating strong partnerships. By working with our many partners we are able to create more opportunities to grow and diversify our programs while building healthy, sustainable and engaged communities.
This spring we are working with over 30 different partners to bring you a wide range of programs and community activations. Looking forward to seeing you at our many upcoming events!
All the best,
From all of us at NYA
