OUR NEXT EVENT
On July 20, 2025 we will join the Hackensack Riverkeeper for a mid-day Staib Park River Clean-Up. Every year, from April through November, Hackensack Riverkeeper's cleanup program mobilizes over 1,000+ volunteers and removes an average of 25,000 pounds of trash from our local waterways. Last year 35 people atttended and removed an impressive number of bags of trash.
Watch this space for a weather update
The Riverkeeper is closely monitoring the weather for potential thunderstorms on Sunday morning. If you have registered, please check your email tomorrow (Saturday) around 3:00 pm for an official update, which we will also post here and on Bluesky. If the storms shift to later in the day or clear up entirely, we will move forward with the cleanup as planned. However, if the forecast remains unfavorable, we will unfortunately have to cancel for everyone's safety.
