Volunteers will remove litter from Twin Lakes Park

This program addresses floatable trash, one of the three major water quality issues on the Bronx River. Volunteers participate in real science, through hands-on experiences. The information we will collect helps find the sources and stops trash from entering the river in the first place. The project engages volunteers by promoting outreach to local businesses whose products end up in and along the river, especially uniting messaging around the harm to our waterways caused by non-biodegradable products.

Registered volunteers will receive an email with location details and an insurance waiver 1 day before the event. Please add volunteer@thewpf.org to your address book to ensure you receive this information.

For last-minute signups or if you do not receive our email, please call our office at (914) 231-4600 or email volunteer@thewpf.org

Waders and gloves will be provided but please bring your own water. Volunteers should wear clothes that can get dirty and closed toe shoes.

Volunteers entering the river must be age 14+
