In addition to being unsightly, litter can harm aquatic life and decrease oxygen levels in the water when it decays. If communities take some time to clean up their space, they can make a BIG difference. Below are two cleanups that will get communities outside in the spring weather and protect the watershed at the same time.
Each spring, the Musconetcong Watershed Association organizes a river cleanup that draws hundreds of volunteers to remove trash at various locations along the Musconetcong River, from Lake Hopatcong to the Delaware River confluence.
The Lake Hopatcong Foundation is pleased to assist this effort each year by coordinating the Hopatcong State Park portion of the cleanup. Hopatcong State Park is location #1 on the river cleanup map .
