In conjunction with Jane’s Walk NYC, join the Newtown Creek Alliance (NCA) for a walking tour to witness and discuss a number of environmental issues relating to our local superfund site: Newtown Creek. The tour will bring us to key access sites and restoration projects along the waterway as we head upstream along the Greenpoint shoreline. We will begin at the Manhattan Avenue Street End Park in Greenpoint and culminate at the Kingsland Wildflowers Green Roof, where participants can join in NCA’s weekly Open Hours series to enjoy the sunset from the green roof meadows. In total, the walk is approx. 1.25 miles long. Register here.
Our second bike tour this season will explore niche local histories of Newtown Creek, highlighting 20+ bricks, boulders, plaques, statues, and industrial relics throughout a twisted nine mile adventure. Our tour will depart from Kingsland Wildflower and end at McGolrick Park. Full details and register here.
Join Newtown Creek Alliance on Sunday, April 21, for our “Creek Crossings” bike tour – an ambitious passage over every bike-crossable bridge over the Creek! On this route, we’ll cover around nine miles, traverse eight bridges, and highlight some other historic creek crossings along the way. Our tour will depart from Kingsland Wildflowers shortly after 11 AM, and end around 2 PM at Cooper Park. Register here!
Come join us for Open Hours at Kingsland Wildflowers – an opportunity for the public to learn about the green roofs, the native plants present, and the Newtown Creek while enjoying the golden hour from our scenic wildflower meadows. Open hours are free and open to the public and will take place every Friday from April 19th to June 30th, 2024, weather-permitting.
