The Environmental Education and Resiliency Center is a
unique, hands-on learning center focused on environmental management and storm
resiliency. The goal is to connect the community with the natural environment
by providing outreach and educational programming. The Center will also be used
for storm response purposes. The Hempstead Lake Dam will be monitored from the
center and the data tracked to assist in storm preparation and response.
The EERC currently offers educational programming for
scouts, schools, and the public. To register for public programs you can visit
