Newtown Creek Alliance invites you to join us at<a href="http://www.newtowncreekalliance.org/plank-road/" title="http://www.newtowncreekalliance.org/plank-road/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer"> Plank Road</a> to participate in the making of a social sculpture — working with biochar and fungi to improve soil and reduce street water runoff into the Creek. Learn about the benefits of fungal mycrofiltration, how biochar offers housing to our invisible microorganism neighbors, and how to redirect waste materials to develop a new lifecycle that helps repair our environment.Plank Road is a unique street end site in Maspeth, Queens, that we have been working to restore for both wildlife and local workers/residents alike. We aim to engage folks with this rare public Creek access point through hands-on projects that can help improve environmental conditions along the shore and in the Creek itself.We ask that all attendees fill out a liability waiver and photo consent form prior to joining, found<a href="https://form.jotform.com/220874852325055" title="https://form.jotform.com/220874852325055" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer"> here</a>.Meetup Location: We will be meeting at Plank Road, 48-01 58th Road in Maspeth, Queens, at 11a.m.Plan ahead for the event: Please wear weather-appropriate clothes, sturdy shoes, and bring your own water bottle and sunscreen if need be.
