Great Swamp Watershed Association

The Great Swamp Watershed Association protects and improves the health of the Passaic River through science, education, land preservation and stewardship, and advocacy.

We support a “One River, One Community” vision for the many rural, suburban, and urban communities along the Passaic River, for a future in which all the region’s citizens understand that the health of the watershed is integrally connected to the quality of their daily lives. We imagine a time in which residents, businesses, and governments along the Passaic work actively and cooperatively to protect and promote clean, safe water, and in turn are rewarded with a bountiful environment that supplies healthy water for drinking and recreation, provides controls for flooding and erosion, supports abundant vegetation and wildlife, and forever inspires with its natural beauty.
