We are a group of folks, who, concerned with the quality of the Pohatcong Creek and its Watershed, began to
meet it discuss what we can do. We are volunteers who would like to protect and enhance this valuable natural resource. Among our programs are: monitoring water quality, developing stream bank restoration programs, inventorying historic landmarks and initiate public awareness programs. We are a certified non-profit organization (IRS 501 (c)(3)).
