Join the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for a virtual Superfund 101 workshop for the Meeker Avenue Plume Superfund site on December 1, 2022, from 6 pm-8 pm EST via Zoom to learn more about it!

The EPA listed the Meeker Avenue Plume Superfund site on the National Priorities List in March 2022. During this workshop EPA agents would like to learn about your concerns regarding the Superfund site, so please come prepared.

Newtown Creek Alliance and the Dutch Kills Loop team invite you to come lend a hand as we tackle cleaning a large section of shoreline along the Dutch Kills Tributary of the Newtown Creek in LIC, Queens. Community members have been hard at work in recent years to cleanup and transform the end of Borden avenue under the LIE. We will be working to clear a new section of shoreline of longstanding trash and debris.

Join us for the last CAG meeting of 2022! Topics include the new Army Corps Harbor and Tributaries study and a review of the East Branch early action plan. See the full agenda here.

Help us take care of the Paidge Avenue Pollinator Pathway! These native plants provide an attractive habitat for the local ecosystems and provide opportunities for the community to come together to celebrate, support, and learn about urban ecology. We will provide gloves, tools, safety vests, and guidance on how to help care for the urban meadows.

Join us at this year’s Tidal Toast as we celebrate NCA’s two decades of work and raise a glass to all of NCA’s friends, supporters, and partners who enable us to restore, reveal, and revitalize Newtown Creek. In celebration of our 20 years, we are honoring three distinct individuals whose extensive contributions have advanced cleanup, connection, and care of our beloved Newtown Creek:

Capt John Lipscomb: Restore Award

Christine Holowacz: Revitalize Award

Mitch Waxman: Reveal Award

This year, we are excited to partner with Colossal Media, who will be generously hosting the Tidal Toast event at their Creek-side facility on Metropolitan Avenue. In addition to a spacious interior, this unique location also offers an outdoor section overlooking the English Kills tributary of Newtown Creek.
