Passaic River Coalition (Lower Passaic)
Passaic River Rowing Association
Riverside County Park at 797 Riverside Ave. (Lyndhurst, NJ)
The Passaic River Coalition, long an advocate for riverfront communities, is hosting a community gathering of residents from neighboring towns that share the Passaic riverfront along the lower Passaic below the Dundee Dam and invite you to join us.
We want to listen and connect with you now and in the future to learn your concerns about your riverfront and other water challenges facing your community – from river access to river flooding, fishing to rowing, river vistas to superfund river cleanups – and how together we may improve our waterways for all of us.
We’ll start with a presentation by the New York-New Jersey Harbor & Estuary Program who assist us in bringing the benefits of the Clean Water Act to the people who live, work, and recreate on our shared waterways. And then we’ll break out into groups to informally dialogue and share perspectives and ideas on how we want to connect with the river and our communities.
Format is casual and engaging on any water issues you want to bring forward. Light fare and drinks provided.
