Gowanus Canal Conservancy is a Brooklyn-based environmental services nonprofit focused on building an equitable, thriving urban ecosystem around the Gowanus Canal, including its waterway, urban forest, parks, and open spaces. It pursues this mission through education, stewardship, and advocacy that empower community members to participate in environmental improvement and resilience efforts. The organization designs its work to address climate adaptation, flood management, and access to green spaces for residents and local stakeholders. Its long-term vision envisions a Gowanus neighborhood adapted to climate change with a healthy urban forest, accessible waterfronts, and a biodiverse, clean waterway supported by robust green and grey infrastructure. The effort foregrounds equitable access to neighborhood green space and the waterway, particularly for public housing residents and historically marginalized communities, along with opportunities for local green jobs. In June 2026, STV Incorporated partnered with GCC for a volunteer day at the organization's Lowlands Nursery, illustrating ongoing collaboration with external partners.
