Newtown Creek Nature Walk Cleanup

Join Newtown Creek Alliance for a stewardship and planting event at one of our favorite waterfront parks in Greenpoint!

Newtown Creek Alliance and DEP (Department of Environmental Protection) invites you to join us at Newtown Creek Nature Walk Phase 3 for a clean up + planting volunteer event! This is a perfect opportunity to connect with DEP’s community coordinators with any questions you may have for caring of Rain Gardens in your neighborhood.

The Nature Walk waterfront marks a milestone in the community to access our long neglected Newtown Creek. The first phase was finished in 2007; the second and third phases were opened in 2021. Upgrades to the nearby Newtown Creek Wastewater Resource Recovery Facility provided funding for this project via the Percent for Art program. Designed by George Trakas, the Nature Walk provides visitors with opportunities to engage with the deep history, geology, ecology and environmental issues of Newtown Creek.
