SUMMARY:Bird Watching/ Observación de Aves at Ridgewood Reservoir
DESCRIPTION:Rescheduled from May 24\, 2026\nJoin author and naturalist Heather Wolf for a bird walk at the Ridgewood Reservoir. With the weather turning it’s a great time to come out and enjoy the reservoir and see some birds! 🐦🕊️ \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 58-2 Vermont Place\, Brooklyn\, NY 11207\, across the street from the reservoir. \nThis event will be in both spanish and english. \n\n\n. \nÚnase a la autora y naturalista Heather Wolf para un paseo de aves en el Ridgewood Reservoir. Estamos en la temporada alta de migración\, ¡así que es un buen momento para salir y disfrutar del embalse y ver algunas aves! 🐦🕊️ \n\n\nEl Ridgewood Reservoir en Highland Park es un oasis natural de más de 50 hectáreas que se extiende a ambos lados de la frontera de Brooklyn y Queens. Construido en 1859 para distribuir agua de alta calidad a la ciudad de Brooklyn\, una vez independiente\, se volvió obsoleto con la adición de nuevos depósitos en Catskills en la década de 1950 y fue desmantelado en la década de 1980. \nDesde el desmantelamiento\, la naturaleza siguió su curso como un ejemplo de sucesión ecológica. Un bosque frondoso y denso ha crecido en sus dos cuencas exteriores\, mientras que un estanque de agua dulce con aves acuáticas se encuentra en la cuenca media. Esta fuente de agua dulce es fundamental para las aves migratorias en la ruta migratoria del Atlántico. \nNos reuniremos en el estacionamiento de 58-2 Vermont Place\, Brooklyn\, NY 11207\, al otro lado de la calle del embalse. \nEste evento será tanto en español como en inglés.

SUMMARY:2026 Trucks of Art
DESCRIPTION:Trucks of Art returns in 2026. \nVotes have been cast and the artists have been selected\, but we’re keeping the results under wraps until the big reveal.\nThis citywide public art initiative\, led by the NYC Department of Sanitation in partnership with the Sanitation Foundation\, invited independent artists to transform active DSNY sanitation trucks into bold\, moving works of art seen daily across New York City. \nUsing zero-waste materials including reclaimed paint collected at DSNY Special Waste Drop-Off Sites and SAFE Disposal Events artists have reimagined nearly 400 square feet of moving canvas\, turning essential sanitation trucks into vibrant symbols of creativity\, sustainability\, and NYC pride. \nEach design celebrates the work of keeping New York City clean while highlighting sustainability\, waste reduction\, and the essential DSNY workforce. \nThe Reveal\nJoin us May 19\, 2026 in Union Square for a free\, family-friendly unveiling event where the newly transformed Trucks of Art will make their public debut.\nBe the first to see the artists and their designs before they begin rolling through neighborhoods across all five boroughs. Roll up your sleeves and join a community cleanup.

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.

SUMMARY:15th Annual Riverkeeper Sweep - WNYC Transmitter Park Cleanup
DESCRIPTION:Join Friends of WNYC Transmitter Park and Riverkeeper for a cleanup at WNYC Transmitter Park from 10:00 am to 1:00 pm for the 15th Annual Riverkeeper Sweep. This is a rain or shine event. \nVolunteers will meet at WNYC Transmitter Park at the terminus of Greenpoint Avenue at the East River. Please meet at the welcome table at the Greenpoint Avenue entrance. There is limited street parking. Nearby garages may be available. \nWe recommend all Sweep volunteers to bring a hat\, sunscreen\, a full reusable water bottle\, insect repellent\, work gloves and hand sanitizer. \nEach year on the first Saturday in May\, more than 2\,000 volunteers come together across hundreds of miles of shoreline in New York City and the Hudson Valley for a day of service for the Hudson River. Volunteers clean up tons of trash\, plant trees\, and remove invasive plant species.\nOver 14 years\, Sweep volunteers have completed 1\,463 projects and removed 396 tons of debris\, including 2\,352 tires\, and planted or maintained thousands of trees and shrubs. Once-neglected areas have gained year-round stewards\, and rivers and creeks are better for it. \nVolunteers must register in advance. Have fun and help take care of the river!
