This is the pond that I
located in the front of
the Urban Ecology
Center.
They find many different
kinds of bugs and other
water creatures in the
pond that they fish and
identify.
This is the front of the
building that has a wrap
around porch made from
wood scraps from the
construction of the Atlantic
City Boardwalk.
You can see the overhang
in the front and to the left
on the roof is where the
solar panels are.
Our experience at the Urban Ecology
Center.
~This is one of the trails we covered
with woodchips.
~We also put down broken off
branches so people know where the
paths are.
~Riverside park is right next to the
urban ecology center and this is the
park we laid woodchips at.
Pulling Garlic Mustard
This is a picture we found from
Google images of a forest where
Garlic mustard has not been picked
This is what the Riverside Park
would probably look like if the
Urban Ecology Center didn’t pick
Garlic Mustard.
This is a picture of what Garlic
mustard looks like up close.
Garlic mustard grows from 30-100
cm tall. The leaves are stalked
triangular to heart shaped, with a
coarsely toothed margin. (info from
Wikipedia)
They provided food like
brats, hot dogs, chips,
soda, water, ect.
They had a room for arts
and crafts.
They had face
painting.

• Our experience at the Urban Ecology Center
was a very positive one. We learned a lot
about what they do to help the environment
and the different ways we can help out the
environment on our own. The group leaders
that we met for service learning were very
helpful and knowledgeable about the different
types of plants in the park and what we need
to do to take care of them, and how to
remove them if need be.
