Programs

In an attempt to protect and preserve the environment, Westchester County offers educational programs to the public, to schools and to professionals in the area of environmental education as it relates to agricultural sustainability, watershed protection and the responsible use of natural resources.  The programs are designed to expand awareness of the impact of human activity on the environment, offer alternatives to existing practices and demonstrate practical methods for implementing new strategies.  They range in focus from life on a farm for preschoolers to pesticide free turf management for commercial golf course managers to edible landscaping for homeowners. 

Please see our calendar for information on upcoming programs.

Many of the programs at the farm are offered through our farm associates.  Please click on the farm associates listed below for more information:

Programs also impart a respect for and investment in the environment with all our visitors, no matter their age.  Youth programs introduce a sense of wonder in our world and adult programs reinforce the ideals of stewardship and sustainability.
