Uncovered Creeks: New York City’s Forgotten Waterways

NYC H2O’s mission is to inspire and educate New Yorkers of all ages to learn about, enjoy and protect their city’s local water ecology. Through providing public and school programs at historic reservoirs, parklands, watersheds, bays, rivers, and wetlands, we encourage diverse citizens to advocate for responsible public policy. Our activities promote science-based knowledge of New York’s local ecosystems and of what is needed for urban water resilience in a time when climate change impact continues to escalate.

Join us for a talk at Hunter College with Nathan Kensinger!

Hunter College

As New York City celebrates its 400th anniversary, its last remaining creeks and streams provide an important link to a wilder past. Over the last 15 years, artist and journalist Nathan Kensinger has documented dozens of these remote waterways, tracking their flows from hidden headwaters down to deltas and wetlands. With sea levels beginning to rise, these little-known bodies of water will soon have a dramatic impact on the neighborhoods surrounding them. This presentation will be in Hunter West Building, Lecture Hall 615HW. When you enter the lobby there will be H2O representatives for you to sign in with.
