Creating a Green Corridor on Paidge Avenue

Over 400 more native perennials, 30 native shrubs, and 6 native trees were added to the growing green corridor on Paidge Avenue leading to the Newtown Creek Nature Walk

Students from the Williamsburg High School for Architecture and Design helped plant more native trees, shrubs, and perennials on Paidge Avenue to continue to create a green corridor running through the industrial area surrounding the nature walk! Adding these plants will benefit pollinators by providing habitat space for them to stop on when travelling between Newtown Creek and the rest of Greenpoint!
