Create urban ecology day camps for lower income youth and/or youth with disabilities where instructors take kids on urban nature walks (e.g. to local green spaces) and teach them about the wildlife systems in NYC. The camp would include instructors who know ASL, and extra helpers for those who need more support. Provide accessible transportation to meeting place and from end point of the walk.
