About this Event

The Ridgewood Reservoir in Highland Park is a 50+ acre natural oasis that straddles the border of Brooklyn and Queens. Built in 1859 to supply the once independent City of Brooklyn with high quality water, it became obsolete with the addition of new reservoirs in the Catskills in the 1950's and was decommissioned in the 1980's.

Since then, nature took its course in a perfect case study of ecological succession. A lush and dense forest has grown in its two outside basins while a freshwater pond with waterfowl sits in the middle basin. This fresh water source is critical to migrating birds on the Atlantic Flyway.

We will meet in the parking lot on Vermont Place, Brooklyn, NY 11207, across the street from the reservoir.

PAISAJISMO VOLUNTARIO: EL EMBALSE DE RIDGEWOOD

Únase a NYC H2O y al Departamento de Parques de Nueva York para mantener la salud y la vitalidad del embalse de Ridgewood. El embalse es el hogar de más de 175 especies de plantas, pero muchas no son nativas de la zona, y no son útiles para crear un ecosistema equilibrado.

Ayúdanos a eliminar las plantas invasoras de nuestro estanque y jardines de polinizadores, cuidar los árboles en Highland Park y recoger la basura de los caminos cerca del embalse.

Conócenos en 58-2 Vermont Pl, Glendale, NY 11385
