Hello Go Greeners,
Our Eco-Hero column features Mara Moss and the journey that brought her to the Sanitation Department's NYC Compost Project. We'd love to hear your stories too! Please
share them and inspire us all!
This weekend is buzzing with volunteer and educational options including a medicinal tree walk in McCarren Park, a workshop about Greenpoint pests, an edible mushroom sculpture opening at Smiling Hogshead Ranch, a Newtown Creek bike tour, and caring for trees with Greening Greenpoint. Looking for summer fun this Saturday? Go party-hopping for some great causes with Red Shed Summer Garden Party, Java St Community Garden's Spring into Summer Party, the Prospect Park Soiree, and North Brooklyn Boat Club's Summer Solstice Benefit. Check these out and more on the
Go Green BK online calendar.
And don't forget to like us on
Facebook,
Instagram, and
Twitter.
See you all around the neighborhood!
Go Green BK!
