Your support protects and preserves land and clean water

As songbirds return from their winter homes and the forests of the Raritan headwaters awaken, it’s a reminder of the living landscape we are working to protect. Right now, your support is urgently needed to help RHA safeguard the watershed and the clean water that more than 1.8 million New Jersey residents rely on.

Poorly planned development in the headwaters affects not only one community but also pollutes water resources, increases flooding, and damages ecosystems far downstream. By combining the water-quality data we collect with education, advocacy, land preservation, and public engagement, RHA serves as your guardian of the watershed. With your help, we can ensure that unwise land-use decisions don’t come at the expense of clean water and environmental health.

Over six decades, RHA has preserved thousands of acres of land across Somerset, Hunterdon, and Morris counties. These efforts directly protect drinking water supplies, prevent the fragmentation of critical wildlife habitats, and support climate resilience.

Your donation today enables RHA to act quickly to protect and preserve the critical ecosystems that keep our water clean and our communities healthy. Please give now to support this vital work—the future depends on it.
