#HEYNBK Want to get your hands in the dirt?
Join the Garden Club this season!

North Brooklyn Parks Alliance is excited to offer three volunteer opportunities each month in these distinct parks:
– Bushwick Inlet Park (50 Kent Ave between 11th and 12th St): a waterfront park defined by its Manhattan views and abundance of flowering pollinator plants.
– Under the K Bridge Park (Meeker Ave and Van Dam Street): a unique 7-acre park under the BQE, where you’ll tend to the native plant nursery, our ecological lab for cultivating biodiversity amongst heavy industry.
– McGolrick Park (Nassau Ave between Russell and Monitor Streets): an Olmsted-era neighborhood park with a stunning mature tree canopy.
You’ll work with our horticultural experts to learn about the ecological needs of each space: weeding invasive plant species, propagating and transplanting native plants, amending soil, and caring for trees.
Events are free, but please consider making a small donation or join our sustaining membership drive and help us build a green fund for North Brooklyn!

Earth Day Mini Marsh Launch!
2026-04-22 17:30 - 19:30 | Kingsland Wildflowers Green Roof and Community Engagement Center, 520 Kingsland Avenue, Brooklyn, NY, 11222
Join Newtown Creek Alliance for the launch of TINA, our mini marsh tank, at Kingsland Wildflowers!

This 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.
TINA 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.
To 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!
