Now that the Ridgewood Reservoir has more protections, it’s up to community members to make sure it’s kept clean.
On March 10, NYC H2O, the organization that has been advocating for the reservoir, is hosting its first monthly stewardship day there.
Earlier this year, the reservoir was designated a protected wetland, adding an additional layer of protection for the threatened and endangered species there.
They are asking for volunteers to help remove invasive plant species and plant native species in their place.
