The Whippany River Watershed has spent the last 20 years monitoring and protecting the river and streams that make up the Whippany River Watershed. Included in the actions we perform are:

Action Committee Lectures: The WRWAC offers our engaging and ever- popular public lecture series. We can address Councils, environmental groups and residents on a wide range of topics that deal with water quality and the watershed. We also have an intriguing film about the Whippany River and the WRWAC’s beginning.

River Clean Ups: Springtime river clean ups are one of the most tangible benefits of the organization to communities throughout the watershed. We partner with municipalities, community groups, and other organizations to coordinate the important removal of garbage and other debris from the Whippany River.

Rain Gardens and Green Infrastructure: Rain gardens and other types of green infrastructure provide critical storm water management that help limit the impacts from storm events on the watershed.

Enhance Native Vegetation (trees and shrubs): The WRWAC also has funding to plant trees and other native vegetation to the riparian buffer zones and flood plains along the river and streams of the Whippany.

Water is WRWAC's specialty: Often there are particular topics that suddenly demand attention. Like the cyanobacteria bloom this summer in lake Hopatcong. The WRWAC has tremendous resources to share, know of professionals who can consult, or help with remediation.
