About the Naval Cemetery Landscape, The Naval Cemetery Landscape (NCL) is fully operated and made open as a public space by the Brooklyn Greenway Initiative (BGI)through the generosity of our supporters. Stop by on a day after the presentation and enjoy the NCL’s native pollinator habitat and contemplative memorial urban meadow and learn about the NCL and the Greenway and what goes into maintaining their beauty and accessibility for every visitor, especially the many species of birds for which we intentionally cultivate habitat and resources!
