Join us for pizza and a movie, as we watch Pixar’s Soul.
Joe Gardner is a middle-school band teacher who gets the chance of a lifetime to play at the best jazz club in town. But one small misstep takes him from the streets of New York City to The Great Before – a fantastical place where new souls get their personalities, quirks and interests before they go to Earth. Determined to return to his life, Joe teams up with a precocious soul, 22, who has never understood the appeal of the human experience. As Joe desperately tries to show 22 what’s great about living, he may just discover the answers to some of life’s most important questions.

New York Restoration Project (NYRP) is pleased to invite you to the Sherman Creek Environmental Science Series, a three-part hybrid seminar series featuring leading scientists whose work has shaped our understanding of estuarine restoration, water quality, and wetland health in Northern Manhattan.
These sessions, held in person at the Sherman Creek Center and online, will explore critical environmental issues affecting Sherman Creek and the broader Harlem River estuary. The series is designed to be of interest to be accessible to community members while also helping inform the relaunch of our Sherman Creek Stewards volunteer and community science program.
