Clean River Project - Sponsored by Entergy

This program addresses floatable trash, one of the three major water quality issues on the Bronx River. Volunteers participate in real science through hands-on experiences. The information collected will help find the source of trash—and stop it—from entering the river. This project engages volunteers by promoting outreach to local businesses whose products end up in and along the river, especially uniting messaging around the harm to waterways caused by non-biodegradable products.

Volunteers will wear adult size waders in the river and help count the bottles, cans, straws, and more that is found in the trash boom.

Waders, gloves, and trash bags will be provided. Volunteers should bring their own water and wear clothes that can get dirty and closed-toe shoes.
