Hidden Street Ends of Newtown Creek

Janes Walk

Led By Willis Elkins, Executive Director AND Shangtong 'Sandy' Li

Join the Newtown Creek Alliance for a walking tour to witness and discuss a number of key environmental issues and public access opportunities along Newtown Creek. The tour will bring us to key street-end areas that we are targeting for enhanced public access, improved safety, and opportunities for restoration and ecological benefits. We will begin at Cooper Park in East Williamsburg and culminate at the Kingsland Wildflowers Green Roof, where participants can join in NCA’s weekly Open Hours series to enjoy the sunset from the green roof meadows. In total, the walk is approx. 3.5 miles long.

This walk is sold out and the waitlist is full.
