ORGANIZATION

The Lower Passaic & Saddle River Alliance is made up of over 30 local community groups, businesses, state and federal agencies, and local citizens working to improve and protect the natural resources of the Lower Passaic River watershed. Our geographic focus is the Passaic River and its tributaries from Two Bridges in Wayne to Newark Bay. The Alliance is working to preserve, protect and restore the Lower Passaic River by improving public access to the River, monitoring tributary streams for sources of pollution and working with partner organizations to reconnect River communities to the River and to change their often negative perceptions of this valuable public resource.

For more information on how you can get involved please contact the Alliance Chair, Tom Pietrykoski, at (973) 817-5735, TPietrykoski@PVSC.COM.  Normally meets second Thursday of each month at various locations around the watershed.
