Volunteer Stream Restoration

GSWA is looking for volunteers ages 15 and up to help remove invasive plants and re-plant native trees and shrubs around Loantaka Brook Reservation’s Kitchell Pond.

Our volunteer team will improve a strip of vegetation (also known as a vegetated buffer) around the pond that reduces the amount of pollution-laden stormwater flowing into it and helps stem the tide of erosion in the area. Since Loantaka Brook runs into and out of Kitchell Pond, the buffer also improves the health of water running downstream into the Great Swamp and the Passaic River. All tools and supplies will be provided.

To register, please contact Sandra LaVigne at Sandral@greatswamp.org or 973-538-3500.
