The Delaware River Greenway Partnership, (DRGP), is a non-profit organization founded in 1998 that works to bring individuals, communities, businesses, recreational users, and all levels of government together to promote and protect a continuous corridor of natural and cultural resources along the Delaware River and its tributaries. In 2000, DRGP played a leading role in the successful campaign to include the Lower Delaware River in the National Wild and Scenic Rivers System. Seventy-five years ago, the Delaware River was choked with sewage and industrial pollution. Lecture Thursday, May 28th, 7:00 PM in Lambertville, NJ David P. Harper, author of Roadside Geology of New Jersey, was scheduled to talk this spring about how geology and time shaped our landscape. DRGP looks forward to cosponsoring the lecture with the D&R Greenway Trust at another time. Care About PA's Tohickon Creek? We are tracking a potential Tohickon Creek water quality downgrade. Longtime Wild & Scenic Steering Committee Member Val Sigstedt writes, “It is wrong, arbitrary, sudden, and with no scientific reason, to lower the Tohickon’s purity designation.” We look forward to seeing you on Saturday, September 19th, 2020 to work with us to continue keeping our river clean and pristine! to work with us to continue keeping our river clean and pristine!
