Cleanup | April 2023

“A section of the Newtown Creek got some tender loving care Saturday morning and about a dozen volunteers got to enjoy a beautiful Earth Day morning giving back to the environment.

A spring cleanup, organized by the Newtown Creek Coalition, focused on a portion of the creek located behind Penn Community Bank and in around a series of stone abutments that once supported a trolley bridge over the creek.”
