Celebrate Earth Day and Mother Nature at the Prospect Park Audubon Center on April 19.
Presented by the Prospect Park Alliance, this annual event celebrates all things nature.
Enjoy a catch-and-release fishing lesson from 1 to 4 pm taught by Alliance naturalists. The children will learn how to tie a fishing knot, attach bait, and cast a line to try and hook that big one.
If fishing isn’t your thing, you can get face-to-face with a real bird of prey in the Raptor Meet and Greet from 1 to 3 pm.
Participants can also help park staff keep the green space clean with a trash pick up and mulch spreading activity from 2 to 3 pm.
To cap off the day at 3 pm, join in a Bash and Trash Performance and Parade, when kids can make instruments out of recycled materials and then jam out in an exciting performance and march led by Bash the Trash.
Earth Day on April 19 from 1 to 4 pm. Free.
