About the Raritan Headwaters Watershed:
Since 1959, Raritan Headwaters Association has worked to secure clean water for present and future generations. RHA engages residents and decision-makers in protecting land and water in our watershed and beyond through science, education, advocacy, restoration, and land preservation.RHA serves as the watchdog for the 470-square-mile North and South Branch Raritan watershed, a region covering 38 municipalities in New Jersey’s Hunterdon, Somerset and Morris counties.Throughout this beautiful region, countless pristine tributaries merge and flow into the North and South Branches of the Raritan River.Safeguarding these “headwaters” means clean, safe water for 300,000 watershed residents and 1.5 million New Jerseyans living downstream in more urban areas that depend on the water that comes from our rivers and reservoirs.Raritan Headwaters is a member-supported 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that operates under the guidance of a Board of Trustees. We have 20 staff members, joined by an AmeriCorps watershed ambassador, nature educators, interns and a large and enthusiastic corps of volunteers.
