This community science data will be used to help guide our mussel propagation program: growing freshwater mussels and placing them within the Delaware River watershed for filtration and cleaner water for all.

Registration is required in advance, please fill out the form below to sign up. This program is also designed for adult volunteers. Children age 12 and up can participate with an adult.
