💪 Registration is now open for the 9th Annual Delaware River Cleanup on September 19! 🎉
Registration: https://tinyurl.com/DelRiverCleanup2026

This year’s theme is, “Where Legends Crossed, Keep It Clean” in honor of the semiquincentennial. Join us as Gen. George Shadington leads the treasure hunt nobody ever wanted. Last year's "finds" included a jet ski, a boat, and home heating oil tanks, among other things you really don't expect to find in and along the river. Who knows what we'll uncover this year!

Thank you to all of our returning partners including New Jersey Clean Communities, , site coordinators, and volunteers who help make it a successful clean up! Also, a shout out to Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources for leading the on the water cleanup.

Swimming in the Delaware River in Bucks County?
🛟As a reminder, always wear you life jacket when in and around the river. The current is unpredictable. Follow all park and landowner rules.

Yes, you can swim in the Delaware River in Bucks County. But wing dams, rain and local rules matter more than the river's reputation.

🎉 Happy National Nonprofit Day! 🎉

Since 1998, we've worked to bring together individuals, communities, businesses, outdoor enthusiasts, & all levels of government to protect a continuous corridor of natural and cultural resources along the Delaware River and its tributaries. In 2000, we helped lead the successful campaign to designate the Lower Delaware as part of the National Wild and Scenic Rivers System and we're proud to continue as its administrators today.

🌊 Join us for our 9th Annual Delaware River Cleanup on September 19th!
We need volunteers to make it a success. Sign up here! https://tinyurl.com/DelRiverCleanup2026
