Flushing Creek Daylighting Tour

Explore Flushing Creek’s past, present, and future with artists Catherine Grau and Nadia Misir!

Daylighting Flushing Creek: Messages from the Water as an Act of Mutual Care is a walking tour that explores the path of the creek, its ecological importance, the issue of flooding in Flushing Meadows Corona Park and our neighborhoods, and plans to restore the creek’s natural flow through daylighting.

We'll stop at different points along the way for interactive activities connecting folks to Flushing Creek, and collecting messages that explore what caring for a future daylit creek might look like.

Location: Meet at David Dinkins Circle.

Flushing Bay Wild Oyster Survey

We’re excited to partner with Billion Oyster Project for a wild oyster survey at the Flushing Bay shoreline again! Learn to count and measure oysters along the coast to help understand current conditions as BOP investigates the potential to restore oyster reef habitat offshore.

You’ll also learn about how they grow and their key role for healthy waterways, getting up close and personal with the oysters while collecting and recording data to be used in future restoration reports.

Participants ages 12+ are welcome. Please note that those under the age of 16 must be companied by a parent or guardian.

Tools and supplies will be provided. Remember to bring water and dress for the weather. Close-toed shoes are required and we recommend wearing ones you won’t mind getting wet or muddy.

Location: Flushing Meadows Corona Park Kayak/Canoe Launch. Meet on the promenade by Pier 1 to walk over together.
