Program Description

Summer 2018

The program begins with two intensive courses—Mapping NYC's Urban Environment: An Intro to GIS and Restoration of NYC Natural Areas—through the College of Mount Saint Vincent. Each combines formal instruction with hands-on work in the field and in a computer lab. The summer also includes data collection in Wave Hill's woodlands, guest speakers, field trips and review sessions. By the end of this first summer, students have been exposed to the principles of forest and restoration ecology, standard methods for data collection and the use of GIS as a tool for scientific inquiry and analysis. 

Academic Year 2018–2019

The academic year is dedicated to building an understanding of the different methodologies used in scientific research, as well as to acquiring knowledge of the ecology of New York City’s natural areas. Through a series of weekly WERMShops, students meet local scientists, read scientific journals, explore local natural areas and practice data-collection methods using GPS and GIS.  
Examples of past WERMShops include:
  • Tour of research projects and Rutgers University's Hutchinson Memorial Forest
  • Kayaking with the Rockaway Waterfront Alliance
  • Hiking in Mianus River Gorge
  • Freshwater ecology data collection in Van Cortlandt Park
WERMShops take place most Saturdays. Students should plan to be available from 9:30AM to 4:30PM, though many sessions are much shorter.
Students also earn community service hours by participating in ecological monitoring and restoration work at Wave Hill. Putting their newly acquired techniques to use, they collect data that contributes to existing research efforts, and help us improve our woodlands.
In the spring, students are split into small teams and paired with a mentor to begin laying the groundwork for their final project.
Summer 2019
The second summer, each participant spends time working on small-group research projects with his or her mentor, and putting in an additional 10 to 15 hours a week working with his or her team. The projects culminate in a final poster, which is presented at a celebratory graduation symposium in August.

The Woodland Ecology Research Mentorship at Wave Hill is generously supported by the Barker Welfare Foundation, Cleveland H. Dodge Foundation, Con Edison, The Lucius N. Littauer Foundation, the New York State Education Department, The Pinkerton Foundation, and Science Sandbox, an initiative of the Simons Foundation. Sustaining support for Wave Hill’s Educational Programming is provided by the Sally and Gilbert Kerlin Endowment Fund at Wave Hill for Environmental Science and Nature Education. Wave Hill’s operations are made possible in part by public funds provided through the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs; and the Zoos, Botanical Gardens and Aquariums Grant Program administered by the New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation.
