May 17, 2007

EVENT: Ceremony to celebrate the first year of the Open Space Stewardship Program, a school-community-government program initiated by the U.S. Department of Energy's Brookhaven National Laboratory. Students in the program and their parents and teachers, land stewards, elected officials, and others who have made the program possible are invited to this recognition ceremony. Media are invited, but the event is not open to the general public. Visitors to the Laboratory age 16 and older must bring a photo ID.

WHEN: Thursday, May 24, 6 - 8:30 p.m.

WHERE: Berkner Hall, Brookhaven National Laboratory - on William Floyd Parkway, one-and-a-half miles north of Exit 68 of the Long Island Expressway, Upton, New York.

DETAILS: Nineteen Suffolk County school districts are participating in the Open Space Stewardship Program, which is coordinated by Brookhaven Lab's Office of Educational Programs. (A list of participating school districts is provided.) In the program, schools are partnered with land stewards in their local communities, and students in grades K through 12 perform environmental research on undeveloped land. At the ceremony, students will display posters and give presentations about their stewardship projects.
