CJST and Dunellen Borough will be cleaning the Bonygutt Brook and its tributaries in Dunellen!  We'll be picking up trash in the wooded areas and along the banks of the streams on the south side of town.  Lots of litter and som flooding debris.

The event begins at 9:00 am. We will meet at the Dunellen Fire House at 231 S. Madison Ave, Dunellen 08812 and then split up to different locations.

 

Please note that registration/RSVP is important so that we know what kind and how many supplies and refreshments to bring and set up. This is especially true if you are bringing a larger group. Waters, snacks, and supplies will be provided!
Volunteer Instructions:

1. Bring along your family and friends! It's going to be a really fun and great day! The more trash we find the more rewarding the experience!

2. Wear sturdy footwear and clothing you don't mind getting wet or dirty! If you plan on cleaning near or in the stream we recommend wearing tall waterproof boots, waders, or old sneakers you don't mind getting wet.

4. We will provide garbage bags, work gloves, tools, sunscreen, bug spray, and water for volunteers.

 

So come on out! We look forward to restoring this small piece of the watershed with you!

Please join CJST as we return to Green Brook Park in Plainfield and North Plainfield.  The Green Brook flows through this park after passing through the highly urbanized areas of Plainfield where it picks up a lot of litter and dumped trash.  We made a good dent last year but it still needs some extra TLC.  We will again be partnering with our friend Cathy Cole, a local resident and environmental champion.  We will work a bit upstream and downstream of where we were last year and maybe one of the tributaries.  The stream here is knee deep or less in most places so there will be an opportunity to wade in to pull out trash.  Please bring tall boots or waders, or wear some old sneakers that can get wet!  Of course there is plenty of opportunity to clean along the banks for those who don't want to go in the water.  We will be working with Union County Parks who will handle trash disposal. 

The event begins at 9:30 AM on Park Drive between Clinton Avenue and West End Avenue in Plainfield north of Route 28.  We will be closer to the CLinton Avenue side.  Park along the road or in the small lot.  Come on out and join us for sign up, instructions and safety...and enjoy some breakfast on us!
