From online educational programming to hands-on restoration projects, NCA has worked tirelessly during this unprecedented year to further our Reveal, Restore, Revitalize mission.

With massive agency budget cuts and lengthy cleanup timelines, the need for grassroots advocacy and initiative to better protect and connect the Newtown Creek communities has never been greater.

On this year's #GivingTuesday we have the opportunity to double the impact of donations in support of the Dutch Kills Loop project, a proposed 2 mile circuit of potential open space and waterfront access in Long Island City, Queens.

NCA will be working with various local partners to formulate comments, share with our network and submit to the DEC. In the meantime, please share your thoughts via this petition setup by our partners at No North Brooklyn Pipeline

We will leave contractor bags tied to the fence, just bring your own gloves and leave full bags by the fire hydrant and DSNY will come retrieve them next week.

One small way to keep trash out of the Creek and discourage future dumping.

Use 150 Apollo street for an address in Google to find the spot. ... See MoreSee Less
