Our annual Flushing Bay shoreline cleanup with Empire Dragons NYC and Riverkeeper is coming up! Join us in keeping Flushing Waterways clean.
Named after Jennifer Merendino, one of the team’s founders who spearheaded efforts to restore Flushing Waterways, the cleanup is an opportunity for community members and volunteers to continue carrying out efforts in stewarding the health of Flushing Bay.
In addition to the cleanup, you can participate in a community dragon boat paddle and learn about green infrastructure initiatives designed to restore our waterways. Volunteers interested in paddling must sign a liability waiver on site and a parent/legal guardian must be present to register and sign waivers for minors under 18 years old.
Remember to dress appropriately, avoiding open toe shoes, sandals, or flip-flops.
