SUMMARY:Earth Day Mini Marsh Launch!
DESCRIPTION:Join Newtown Creek Alliance for the launch of TINA\, our mini marsh tank\, at Kingsland Wildflowers! \n\n\n\n\nThis Earth Day\, April 22\, Newtown Creek Alliance will be launching “TINA” — an experimental marsh tank\, which will live Creekside at Kingsland Wildflowers for the next six months. \nTINA is a 600-gallon aquaculture tank\, planted with saltmarsh cordgrass (Spartina alterniflora) and hundreds of Atlantic ribbed mussels (Geuksensia demissa) — two native wetland species that used to exist in abundance in Newtown Creek. Twice daily\, TINA fills up with Creek water\, allowing the mussels and SparTINA to filter and clean the water before being released. Over the course of this 6-month trial\, TINA will filter hundreds of thousands of gallons of Creek water\, with NCA and partners taking water quality samples and data throughout. \nTo celebrate the start of TINA’s tenure\, join us Creekside at Kingsland Wildflowers this Earth Day: check out the tank\, look at some mussels and other Creek species\, and learn more about our water quality advocacy. Food and drinks will be provided!

SUMMARY:Bike Tour: Fossil Fuel History of Newtown Creek
DESCRIPTION:Join NCA and Sane Energy Project on this 5-mile bike tour\, showcasing the past and present of energy infrastructure along Newtown Creek. \n\n\n\n\nThis 5-mile bike tour will explore the past\, present\, and future of fossil fuel infrastructure along Newtown Creek. From the establishment of the world’s first kerosene refinery in 1854\, to the ongoing cleanup of the country’s largest terrestrial oil spill\, to the current environmental justice impacts stemming from National Grid’s 117 acre Liquified Natural Gas facility – Newtown Creek has a long and troubled history with fossil fuel production\, storage\, and pollution. We will see many of the historic and current operations along the Creek\, learn more about the hazards they present\, and discuss paths towards a cleaner energy future. \nWe encourage those joining to be fairly comfortable bicyclists – this route has adverse street conditions and frequent truck traffic. We ask that all attendees fill out a liability waiver and photo consent form prior to joining\, found here. \nPlease bring a water bottle\, snacks\, and weather-appropriate clothing. We will have limited staff in attendance to navigate and provide support. \nStart Location: Manhattan Ave Street End Park\, Manhattan Ave\, Brooklyn\, NY 11222 \nEnd Location: Cooper Park\, Brooklyn\, NY 11211

SUMMARY:Volunteer Landscaping and Cleanup at the Ridgewood Reservoir
DESCRIPTION:Join NYC H2O and the NYC Parks Department as we remove invasive plants and plant native plants at Ridgewood Reservoir!\n\n\n\nThe Ridgewood Reservoir in Highland Park is a 50+ acre natural oasis that straddles the border of Brooklyn and Queens. Built in 1859 to supply the once independent City of Brooklyn with high quality water\, it became obsolete with the addition of new reservoirs in the Catskills in the 1950’s and was decommissioned in the 1980’s. \nSince then\, nature took its course in a perfect case study of ecological succession. A lush and dense forest has grown in its two outside basins while a freshwater pond with waterfowl sits in the middle basin. This fresh water source is critical to migrating birds on the Atlantic Flyway. \nWe will meet in the parking lot on Vermont Place\, Brooklyn\, NY 11207\, across the street from the reservoir. \n\n\n
