Yesterday, on Monday, October 24, my Ecology & the Environment students, select independent study students, and ESC mentor Susan Tratner and Assistant to the Dean Tara Maldonado went for a tour at the Brooklyn Grange Farm in Long Island City, Queens (37-18 Northern Blvd.). Thanks to co-founder Gwen Schantz, and 8-month old Otto, we were treated to an excellent tour of the farm, its operations, and their bees. My students also had the opportunity to ask many questions about the farm, and I hope they found it rewarding. I intend to do this trip every Fall, and perhaps tour other facilities in the tri-state area.
