Students, faculty and staff will celebrate nature and the environment during a day-long event on May 29 featuring 18 learning stations that focus on everything from owl pellets to the geometry of spiders and woodland instruments.

The Pieter B. Coeymans campus has been designated by the National Wildlife Federation as a National School Wildlife Habitat and students  work with faculty and staff throughout the year to maintain that designation.

During the May 29 event, students will visit educational; stations on the environment, eat a bird nest for lunch (spaghetti with meatballs),  and take part in a scavenger hunt in the environment.

The PBC habitat provides an outside classroom for the students who during warmer months are taught valuable earth science and other lessons. During winter, the grounds and nature trail are used for snowshoeing and animal tracking during physical education courses.
