HONOREES
We are thrilled to celebrate the 2024 Restore, Reveal, and Revitalize Honorees Randy W. Austin, Shino Tanikawa, and Tri-Lox, for their amazing work as environmental stewards of Newtown Creek and the local community.
For 45 years, Randy Austin worked for the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation, leading the Oil Spill Response unit for all of New York City. Now retired, Randy was an invaluable resource in protecting both people and wildlife from the harms of petroleum and chemical pollution, with extensive results for Newtown Creek and the surrounding communities.
Shino Tanikawa is the executive director of the NYC Soil and Water Conservation District and a leading advocate for environmental protection, public education, and social justice. Through her extensive experience in public policy and environmental education and outreach programming across New York City, Shino continues to empower people to become environmental stewards and active voices for their communities.
Tri-Lox is a Greenpoint-based design, fabrication, and manufacturing practice that works with regional wood, including material from deconstructed New York City water towers and salvaged NYC trees. Tri-Lox exemplifies a successful model for integrating environmental conservation and sustainability into a locally based industrial business.
