Happy International Forest Day! LWRP recognizes how dependent our Lower Raritan River is on a healthy upstream forest. We acknowledge these circular connections in a real way, and use sustainably sourced wood (donations and off-cuts) for our boat builds.

Hi folks. The LRWP is hoping to wrap up the year with strong donation support. We are about $7,000 from our goal to close out 2022. We are grateful for any financial love you might be able to send our way. More info on our website here: https://t.co/mSZJYtqC61

Please join us Friday December 9, 5:30-8:30pm for our annual holiday potluck!

@RWJF Part III: Support communities in understanding the link between environmental and human health by connecting folks to their natural landscapes so that they directly observe and learn to articulate the real and granular impacts of #ClimateChange and build up from there

[LRWP @LowerRaritan]

@RWJF Part II: For example, connect the UN SDGs with real on-the-ground issues. Ex: link #climatechange related migration and associated inequities to potential positives for receiving communities doing sustainable redesign using e.g. 15-Minute City Model.

[LRWP @LowerRaritan]

@RWJF Part I: Perhaps a better starting point is identifying tangible things people and communities can do to address health (and other) inequities related to #ClimateChange

Powerful, passionate visuals bring attention to the wrongs of dumping untreated sewage into our waterways. Messages from Tenerife. https://t.co/USiJ5er83z

Proud of Piscataway, Highland Park and New Brunswick leaders who are stepping up the stormwater utilities game in submitting applications for swu feasibility study/technical assistance funding! TY Mayors Wahler, Brill-Mittler and Cahill!!

[LRWP @LowerRaritan]

New Jersey is WAAAY behind compared to other states in terms of stemming flooding. Why? Lack of political will. This will only get worse without implementing institutional structures like stormwater utilities. https://t.co/Gn4frrigVJ

Happy 50th Birthday US Clean Water Act! You served us well, but we need now to center *watersheds* at the heart of policy making for the next 50 years!
