Watch our students, teachers and volunteers in action planting beachgrass to stabilize dunes in Coney Island Creek Park, part of the Resilient Schools and Communities (RiSC) program in New York, now a PBS Learning Media resource, aligned to New York's new K-12 climate change learning requirement.
The aim of the RiSC program and curriculum is to educate youth about climate science, climate impacts, and the natural and built solutions that increase climate resiliency. RiSC engages students in knowledge-sharing and provides access to hands-on projects - like tree planting and dune restoration - that mitigate the impacts of extreme weather. RiSC has been adapted in New York, Texas, New Jersey, Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Islands.
