Volunteers Needed this Sunday to Help Clean up Matawan Creek in NJ

---

The Bayshore Regional Watershed Council, NY-NJ Baykeeper, Monmouth County Clean Communities and The AmeriCorps NJ Watershed Ambassadors Program are seeking volunteers to help clean up Riverside Gardens Park located along Matawan Creek in the Cliffwood Beach area of Aberdeen Township, NJ this Sunday morning, November 19 starting at 10:00am. 
The area is unfortunately one of the dirtiest areas in the Bayshore region and needs your help to clean it up for all species to enjoy!

The creek is home to a diversity of fish, crabs, and birds including Ospreys or fish hawks. The creek is also known for the infamous 1916 shark attack, the inspiration for the book and movie JAWS.

Please help us clean up an often overlooked site of New Jersey's rich ecology and history. 

A lot of people would be surprised to see so much trash near a beautiful waterway.

TIME: 10:00AM TO 12:00PM 
MEETING LOCATION: Along Riverdale Drive in the Cliffwood Beach section of Aberdeen Township, near Highway 35.
