Join NCA for a cleanup event around Penny Bridge.
Newtown Creek Alliance has been focused on improving a handful of street-end sites since 2018. Our goal is to improve environmental conditions at these sites, while also making them safer and more inviting as green public areas along the shore. We are looking for volunteers to help us accomplish some simple tasks and short-term goals like trash and debris removal, planting native flora and pathmaking.
The Annual Kingsland Wildflowers Festival is Back!
We are excited to be bringing you a summer evening of programming for the 5th Annual Kingsland Wildflowers Festival! This event will include a variety of performances, hands-on activities, and educational opportunities about our green roofs. Food and beverage will be available. Admission is free and registration is not required.
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.
Curious about NYC’s last frontier in underutilized spaces – green roofs – how they operate, function, and perform? Do you also love plants and the insects and birds they support? Join Newtown Creek Alliance to care for the green roof meadows at Kingsland Wildflowers!
At Kingsland Wildflowers, we want some of the seeds our plants produce to fall into the green roof soils, to grow into future blooms, but some are collected and shared. We’ll show you how to know when the timing is right to harvest wildflower seeds, how to sort and separate them and how to save them and prepare them for planting in your own garden. We’ll send you home with seeds of your own so bring some small jars if you’ve got them on hand, we also have plastic-free bags you can bring them home in too. This workshop will be led by NCA’s education and horticulture team.
