Empowering citizens to make a positive impact

The Watershed Protector “hub” is where environmental education and the science of safe, clean water come together. Individuals and families are invited to use this hub to learn how they can help protect nature and clean water in the upper Raritan River watershed.

There are so many ways to contribute to a healthy, sustainable environment! The hub offers guidance on making your yard “River Friendly,” participating in important citizen science projects, and promoting environmental sustainability.
