HOPE Hudson Valley, which is a part of NYC Church of Christ had a successful cleanup last weekend and it looks like they had a great time doing it! Thank you all for your hard work!
One thing we noticed from their report form was that there was a lot of fishing line found. Please be mindful of this when you are fishing. Leaving items like this is is extremely harmful to the local wildlife. Always remember to practice your "leave no trace" principles!

In less than 2 months, over 2 thousand volunteers removed 22 tons of debris from Rockland County's local streets, parks and waterways!
For a frame of reference of how much 22 tons is equal to:
3,605 - 1 gallon jar of pickles 🥒
721 - tires
270 - queen sized mattresses
11 - male African Elephants 🐘
Thank you to all for the incredible work and we have such gratitude for all of our Cleanup Leaders, volunteers and all of the local/county/state highway departments and towns!

It's finally here! Join KRB, Hackensack Riverkeeper and Veolia (formerly Suez) for the 6th Annual Lake DeForest Day this Saturday June 25th!
Lake DeForest is one of Rockland's precious natural resources. Because it's a reservoir that feeds into our drinking water system, access is normally quite restricted. But this weekend you can get up close and personal with Lake DeForest!
Start off a beautiful day with us on the causeway. Your registration for the Family Walk, 5K Fun Run supports KRB.
Take this rare opportunity to enjoy the scenery from the causeway without cars, then hop on a kayak or canoe for a refreshing paddle and support our friends at Hackensack Riverkeeper.
