Overview
North Brooklyn Boat Club consists of local kayakers, canoers, sailors, environmentalists, boatbuilders, community leaders and activists. North Brooklyn Boat Club is an open group and welcomes anyone with an interest in boating, open space, environmental education, and nautical recreation to join public events and open meetings. They use raised beds to grow organic fruit and vegetables and maintain an active community compost bin for kitchen scraps, food and other organic waste. The club is replacing and improving a compost system that was damaged by hurricane sandy and expanding their compost system. 2013 Winner of First-Ever Manhattan Community Scale Composting Contest.
