Summer view of the Delaware River

Delaware River Sojourn and Conservation Partnership

Join us for a trip down the Delaware River for a virtual river sojourn.

In the first video, you can experience the natural wonders that we captured along the river and some information about the river.

Once you view our river sojourn, you can start planning your own trip out on the river to experience the beauty and excitement of the Delaware River for yourself.

In the second video, we collect a sample of macroinvertebrates from an eddy and identify the macros in our collection. You can learn how to collect your own sample and learn about macros in a hands-on way!

FACT

We all live downstream. Our water quality is directly affected by our upstream neighbors, and our choices will impact the water quality for our downstream neighbors.

WHAT YOU CAN DO
  • Minimize impervious surfaces.
  • Do not remove trees and other plants next to streams, lakes and wetlands.
  • Plant native plants to absorb heavy rain falls.
  • Direct rain gutters onto lawn or garden.
  • Construct rain gardens and use rain barrels.
