Alley Pond Environmental Center

Let’s get ready for Pre-K! APEC provides a unique educational experience and prepares children for the preschool classroom through motivating science lessons, hands-on learning experiences, and school readiness skills.

In a collaboration with APEC, Bayside Anglers Group LTD is offering fishing instruction for adults and children ages 12 and up at the Alley Pond Environmental Center in Douglaston. These evening sessions with seasoned recreational fishermen will provide instruction based on the needs of our participants and can range from beginner to experienced.

Students will focus on the nutritional needs of our animals and optimal dietary choices for body weight, bone health, and organ health. They will also learn how to check to make sure the animals are receiving the right amount of nutrition by giving them examinations and will feed a variety of animals in our care.
