The Lopatcong Creek Initiative is dedicated to promoting river friendly living, working, and farming throughout our 22 square mile watershed. We are committed to raising awareness about the critical connection between the health of our water and the health of our communities and to educating our neighbors about how simple choices can lessen our environmental impact, reduce pollution, and conserve the water resources we depend on. We provide volunteer opportunities throughout the year to engage the community in projects and cleanups in addition to workshops and training. We also provide watershed presentations to schools and community groups to teach the next generation about how pollution travels through our watershed and into our stream. We are eager to help connect landowners, farmers, and municipalities to additional opportunities and funds that have been invested in our watershed's river friendly enhancements.
