The Center for the Urban River at Beczak is a 3900-square-foot environmental education and research facility located on 2 acres of Hudson riverfront park in downtown Yonkers. It is operated by Sarah Lawrence College in cooperation with the Hudson River Valley Environmental Education Institute. The objective of this study was to extend the research done last year to measure the effects of a field trip to CURB on students’ environmental empathy, environmental engagement, interest in CURB, and cultural awareness. This was achieved with qualitative and quantitative measures, including a multi-case study (Bogden & Biklen, 1998) and a quantitative survey. The qualitative multi-case study in the field of participatory action research (Denzin & Lincoln, 2000), included note-taking and observation of students attending CURB programs.
