Past Events
As part of the Fairy Rings: Gathering Series, coordinated by artist Jan Mun in partnership with Newtown Creek Alliance, this event will feature Earl Hatley, a co-founder of LEAD Agency, a grassroots organization in Oklahoma. LEAD’s original focus was the Tar Creek Superfund Site, a 40 sq mile area of abandoned lead and zinc mines impacting ten tribes located in the area.
The event will also include updates on local Water Quality and Superfund issues from NCA’s Executive Director Willis Elkins, and a discussion pertaining to long term cleanup strategies and goals relevant to Earl’s experience and insights. Registration and more info here.
This June Newtown Creek Alliance (NCA) is hosting a series of events centered around the English Kills tributary of Newtown Creek aimed to engage the East Williamsburg and Bushwick communities with this inaccessible waterway and ways that the upland communities can help improve conditions in both the Creek and on local streets.
This event will include:
- Introduction to the importance of green infrastructure (why it is good for water quality in Newtown Creek)
- Hands-on maintenance of curbside rain gardens along Maujer Street (between Morgan and Waterbury)
- Cleanup of sidewalk and street trash along Maujer Street and Morgan Avenue
