<div>Delaware River Greenway Partnership (DRGP) has joined forces with <a href="https://www.njclean.org/">NJ Clean Communities</a> programs in Hunterdon and Mercer County and the <a href="https://www.nj.gov/dep/parksandforests/">NJ Park Service</a> to help tackle the litter along the shore of our Wild and Scenic Delaware River. We hope you can join us in our efforts.&nbsp;This year's cleanup includes eighteen areas along the river ranging from Holland Township in Hunterdon County all the way to Duck Island at the Abbott Marshlands in Hamilton!&nbsp; In addition to shoreline cleanups, there will be one boat-based cleanup as well at the Giving Pond in Bucks County. 
&nbsp; 
In 2022, volunteers removed an impressive amount of debris from the river including:</div>

Alison Sommers-Sayre, Executive Director of DRGP remarked, &ldquo;The pandemic helped us appreciate our outdoor resources more than ever. It's wonderful to see so many in our community continue to enjoy&nbsp;time along&nbsp;the river -- paddling, walking, tubing, biking, bird watching or traveling the Delaware River Scenic Byway. With increased use comes the need for increased stewardship, and the Annual Delaware River Cleanup is an important way to help.&nbsp;Joining us, and many of your neighbors, to spend a few hours on river cleanup, is a great way to individually make a difference and to work together to ensure the Delaware River continues to be a cherished resource.&rdquo;
