The Meeker Avenue Plumes have been nominated to be put on the National Priority List, the first step to becoming a federal Superfund Site. Find out what that means and how you can help get the area cleaned up at this community meeting we are co-hosting with North Brooklyn Neighbors.

Join NCA as we work to maintain our pollinator meadow at this street end park. The very health meadow needs a little thinning, so we will pursue a great divide to safely remove and relocate some of the plants within. All materials and tools will be provided. Sign up here.

Join NCA for a celebratory event hosted this year by NYC Department of Environmental Protection at the Newtown Creek Nature Walk. The event, hosted within the newly completed phase 3 of this beloved waterfront open space (enter at the end of Kingsland Ave), will include drinks and light food, speeches and celebration of our honorees. The event will be entirely outdoors, please hold Friday October 22nd as a rain date.

This year we are very excited to honor three distinct persons/organizations who have made substantial contributions to Reveal, Restore, and Revitalize Newtown Creek:

Laura Hofmann (Restore Award)

George Trakas (Revitalize Award)

Sane Energy & the No North Brooklyn Pipeline (Reveal Award)

Come celebrate our 19 years of achievement, Toast our honorees and support the ever important work ahead of us. Together we can continue to transform our waterway and the community’s relationship to it.  See info about Sponsorship Levels here.

The Community Advisory Group will get the latest updates from EPA and discuss the Remedial Investigation report. The meeting is open to all; please register here.
