The Prospect Heights Neighborhood Development Council
In July, the Prospect Heights Street Tree Task Force will be working on trees in two locations:
Even if you don't live on these blocks, please come out and help. We're all neighbors, and we're all responsible for keeping Prospect Heights green and beautiful. Mark your calendars and join us for some fun and satisfying work!
Tired of the litter in the grass, the plastic bags in the bushes? Come join your neighbors from Prospect Heights & Park Slope Plaza Street, Butler and St Johns Place for Friends of the Berms' monthly green-up day!
Meet at the corner of Vanderbilt Avenue and Plaza Street. Gloves and tools will be provided.
Co-sponsored by Volunteers in Prospect Park.

New York City Streets are dirty. But it doesn't have to be that way! Pick up a broom, grab a glass of lemonade, and join your neighbors as we sweep the streets to clean our neighborhood, and our planet. Volunteers from the Prospect Heights Street Tree Task Force will be on hand to teach tree care essentials. Coffee and donuts will be served, care of The Prospect Place of Brooklyn Block Association, Inc.
All are invited to attend, whether you live in Prospect Heights, or want to learn how to start a street cleaning event of your own. Come out and see how together we can make NYC a greener, cleaner place. All cleaning tools will be provided, care of the New York City Department of Sanitation.
Tip #1: This would be a great day for stoop sales! We anticipate good foot traffic, so you may want to show your wares that day.
Tip #2: Less garbage in the sewer means less burden on city infrastructure, and healthier oceans.
Tip #3: Safer healthier neighborhoods are good for residences and businesses. Start by greeting your neighbors, and getting to know each other with some street cleaning!

When the Prospect Heights Street Tree Task Force heard that Forest City Ratner Companies would cut twenty trees from the northern sidewalk of Pacific Street between Sixth Avenue and Carlton Avenue to make room for construction in the Vanderbilt rail yard, its members joined a chorus of other community members and elected officials in protest.
