Love plants? How about butterflies and New York City’s amazing native bees? Join Newtown Creek Alliance and the Friends of MASE Park to care for the meadows in the park and on nearby Paidge Ave! Over the last few years, we’ve planted thousands of flowering native plants in these locations to provide habitat and support for our native pollinators and we’d love your help in caring for them.
