Look Around New York City
Look Around New York City is NYC Audubon's publication for children in fourth through sixth grades that has been published for almost 25 years by a volunteer team of writers, artists, and editors. It features articles by professionals as well as kids. There are fun facts, mini-quizzes, interviews, and ideas for adults about city-based nature activities for children. Look Around aims to get city kids involved in their environment by promoting nature appreciation and preservation. Look Around is made possible by a generous donation from Con Edison.
