Madre Tierra will join ANS to celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month with an evening of Bomba y Plena music, rooted in African traditions and the natural landscape of Puerto Rico. They will perform several specially-written compositions with an emphasis on the connections between Puerto Rican people, their diaspora, and nature, and they will speak about these connections as well. Por favor join us for what promises to be a beautiful, rhythmic, celebrator, and resilient evening of singing, laughing, and dancing!

Do you live in the Long Branch community? What is changing along our community’s stream and what can we do to protect it?

ANS and its partners are returning for another community engagement event. Come with your family to search for clues about the stream’s health as we learn what the creek critters have to tell us and take a nature walk on the Long Branch Trail. Artists from the Dance Exchange will join us again! 

We’ll meet at the Long Branch Community Center.

* Children must be accompanied by an adult.

Our friends with the Little Falls Watershed Alliance are hosting their semiannual “Creek Critters” activity. Participants will step into the creek, search for macroinvertebrates, and use ANS’s Creek Critters app to identify these critters and learn what they tell us about the health of the stream. This is a family-friendly event and registration is required.
