Thank you to everyone who came out on Friday December 13 to celebrate the LRWP as we move into our 10th year. How did we get so lucky with this board, these friends?

A few highlights:

-boat build lead Brian Smith’s family & friends surprised him with the winning bid on one of the canoes up for auction (thank you to everyone who donated and bid – we raised over $6000!!);

-remembering the Summer magic of Aqualumina 2024 with coLAB and Esperanza Neighborhood Group;

-sharing 6 years of water quality data – and highlighting the great value of a multi-year dataset to understand health risks;

-talking up the $1.57 million NFWF/NCRF grant, and the impact this major coastal resilience project will have on the South River and watershed.

With gratitude,

The Lower Raritan Watershed Partnership Board
