Imagine a sustainable urban farm and environmental education center. Imagine it being operated on renewable energy, supporting sustainable food production. A beautiful organic green space that grows tomatoes, cucumbers, and lettuce with zero net carbon emissions, zero chemical pesticides, and zero runoff. That is a wonderful vision...now, imagine that place right in the heart of New York City. Let's take that vision a step further...imagine this beautiful vision leaps wildly forward and exists on a barge! This vision exists, and you can visit the Science Barge again this year starting May 2, 2008.From May to October 2007, the Science Barge hosted over 3,000 schoolchildren from all five New York boroughs as well as surrounding counties as part of our environmental education program. In addition, over 6,000 adult visitors visited the facility along with press from around the world.
