Join us Wednesday, June 11, for the Town of Highland Planning Board's Camp FIMFO Final Environmental Impact Statement (Final EIS) workshop. delawareriverkeeper.org/events/town-...

Be aware of the air quality today—forest fire smoke from Canada has been moving into our region. Those that already have respiratory problems may be at elevated risk. abcnews.go.com/US/canadian-...

Decry energy emergency but in the same breath, remove tax credits and incentives for renewable energy. Claim you're going to make America healthy, but you remove pollution controls and prop up dirty fossil fuels that poison the air for residents and workers.

It's not a Monarch Caterpillar, but a Milkweed Tussock Moth Caterpillar, though both are very similar in that they feed on milkweed exclusively and have similar coloration. (guess how that could be beneficial)! If you have milkweeds, you might be seeing these guys in the next few months!

New Jersey is dealing with rising sea levels, hurricane flooding, and wildfires. It's about time we take it seriously and implement better building protections for our communities. Tell Governor Murphy to stop equivocating and adopt the NJPACT rules now. He just needs to sign! bit.ly/AdoptNJPACTnow

Join @GreenAmendments and Pinelands Preservation Alliance this Wednesday, June 4th in Cape May for a town hall where you can speak up and ask questions to learn about ways we can keep our environment and communities healthy and safe.

Increased rainfall, big forest fires, rising sea levels—what is NJ doing to protect its residents from growing climate threats? Gov Phil Murphy needs to adopt the NJPACT REAL rules now to make sure developers are building homes with climate change in mind.

If you haven't done so already, please make sure to sign this petition to the Delaware River Basin Commission. If we get enough signatures, we could potentially have a much needed public hearing on the Gibbstown LNG export terminal project:

We've waited long enough. There's no price on clean drinking water.

Heads up! The Delaware Riverkeeper Network will be at George Page Park on June 14th from 12-3pm to give people fishing lessons. It's a great way for first timers to learn. There will also be many other outdoor environmental activities to do. Come join us!

What's with the delay? Governor Murphy needs to adopt the NJPACT REAL rules ASAP to make New Jersey stronger against climate change related problems. Please sign on to this letter urging Governor Murphy to adopt the rules now:
