Mayor Mironov “thanked residents who participated in this worthwhile community cleanup effort at Etra Lake Park, as a terrific way to celebrate Earth Day and preserve our natural resources.  The purpose of this cleanup was to remove litter from our local watershed streams, helping to keep our water sources clean and provide for cleaner and more environmentally healthy streams.”

The Watershed Institute works with residents, municipal, county and state leaders and local groups on a wide variety of initiatives and actions to protect and restore our water and natural environment in Central New Jersey through conservation, advocacy, science and education.
