On Wednesday, March 12th, Riverfront North Partnership joined the Coalition for the Delaware River Watershed and several other organizations from within the Watershed to advocate for the health of the Delaware River at #CDRWHillDay. Everyone came together on Capitol Hill and visited various members of Congress to ask for support on legislations that will aid long term conservation efforts of the river. Over the course of the day, Riverfront North was able to speak to the office of Congressman Brendan Boyle, a native Philadelphian and a longtime advocate for the Delaware River. We are grateful for the Congressman's tremendous support of Riverfront North over the years, and that RNP was able to attend and continue working toward a clean, accessible, and habitable Delaware River for all.
