Bronx River Ecology Team

Overview

The Ecology Team, a committee of scientists, city, state, and federal agency representatives, and local community representatives, serves as a forum to discuss, evaluate, and prioritize environmental studies and on-the-ground projects that promote ecological health of the river and its watershed. The team ensures that all projects, both large and small, are in accordance with the ecological principles set by the team and that these principles guide the Alliance’s Watershed Policy and Planning and Conservation Crew work.

Every two years, the Ecology Team elects two co-chairs to represent them on the Bronx River Alliance Board of Directors.
