What we do on land does not stay on land. The choices we make on what we do on our property can impact the waters nearby as rain and runoff pick-up and move pollutants from their point of origin to our waterways. In a time of climate change when precipitation is highly variable these pollutants are more likely to affect our local and regional water quality.

Join the LRWP for two Teacher Professional Development Workshops, offered in partnership with the New Jersey Climate Change Learning Collaborative and the New Jersey Department of Education.

On both Monday June 23 and Tuesday August 12 we will tour New Brunswick infrastructure and landscape and take a boat trip on the Raritan River to learn more about how we monitor water quality in general and pathogen monitoring more specifically, and about solutions to divert the pollutants from our waterways. These full-day workshops will be followed up with a webinar (August 14th, 4PM EDT) to explore instructional resources related to the Lower Raritan watershed, and water quality monitoring.
