Join NCA as we tackle one of our favorite access spots. Plank Road is a revitalized street end with known historic and ecological significance on Newtown Creek. We will be picking up trash along the shoreline and landscaping the existing vegetation and paths. Gloves, shovels, trash bags, and all other necessary materials will be provided. Volunteers are encouraged to bring water, sun protection and wear closed-toed shoes.
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!
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.
