Grades 6-8: Join the Neighborhood Ecology Corps!

Join the Neighborhood Ecology Corps

The City of Oaks Foundation, through its Conservation Explorers program, supports the Neighborhood Ecology Corps (NEC) and is looking for students entering grades 6-8 to apply for the 2021-2022 Neighborhood Ecology Corps class!

The Neighborhood Ecology Corps (NEC) is a free program focused on exploring nature and the community in order to develop environmentally literate citizens. The year begins with the Summer Immersion Program: a weeklong day camp August 9-13, 2021 that fosters community within the NEC cohort. Throughout the school year, participants will meet weekly from 4-5:30pm at Walnut Creek Wetland Park.

Through the Neighborhood Ecology Corps, students will have the opportunity to engage in outdoor excursions, journaling, environmental stewardship, and learn about education and career opportunities. Students will receive a $200 stipend upon the completion of their first year and may elect to continue into a 2- or 3-year program.

For more information and a program application, please contact Sheryl McGlory at sheryl.mcglory@raleighnc.gov.

Raleigh City Council Accepts Donation of Joslin Garden

"The donation of this garden to the City marks a culmination of the vision of my parents, William and Mary Coker Joslin, who wanted their land to be a place for our community to enjoy and appreciate nature. The Joslin family is grateful that this partnership with the Raleigh parks system ensures the future of this beautiful natural area for generations to come." - Nell Joslin
