A rare and unique urban nature habitat on the Brooklyn and Queens border in New York City is being threatened.

An online petition to the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation has been set up at Change.org here. Please take a moment to sign it. For more information about the Ridgewood Reservoir and efforts to protect it, check out the blog Save Ridgewood Reservoir.
