Meetings:
We have been having telephone conferences in place of live meetings, but are planning a series of meetings on the Raritan River. See the next paragraph.
Sign up for our email list above to get notices.

Did you know that there are over 200 contaminated sites which are adjacent to or drain into the lower Raritan River,
including abandoned industrial sites, Superfund sites, old landfills, dredge dumping areas and old army arsenals.
We are planning a series of meetings with films and speakers to talk about cleaning up the Raritan.
Check here or our facebook page for schedules.
