Our Work

The LRWP centers our work in community science. Community science is about giving people and neighborhoods a meaningful role in understanding and shaping the environmental future of the places they call home.

Through our work we aim to inform, inspire, and innovate on the path to a healthier Raritan River and Lower Raritan Watershed.

Inform. We work as civic scientists monitoring the River and her tributaries, and collecting and analyzing data on the health of the watershed.

Inspire. We seek to support and inspire a culture of science and stewardship in the Lower Raritan Watershed. We do this by developing opportunities for service, and by offering formal and informal K-grey environmental education programming. Do you need a speaker for your Environmental Commission, Green Team or other community group? Let us know!
