Join Alliance programs to protect, improve, and restore the Bronx River corridor
Our foundation is community support and involvement in the Bronx River and its parks. Our Outreach programs connect you to the Bronx River, through robust volunteer programs and special events.
We offer many ways to help, whether you join in yourself or as part of a community organization, school, corporate group, or park leadership. Volunteer opportunities include:
Connect with a “Friends of the Bronx River” group! The Outreach Program starts and supports these groups. If you’re already in a group, we can link you with other groups, to learn from each other and be stronger collectively. These groups and your efforts promote the Bronx River so encouraging others join in efforts to restore and reclaim the River.
More ways The Outreach Program can help: Plan a river event, connect your school or organization to the river, support fundraising to restore your river.
We look forward to working together on changing our borough.
The Outreach Program works to spur more community support for and involvement in the Bronx River and its parks.

Accomplishments over the last few years include:
The Bronx River Foodway is an edible food forest at Concrete Plant Park. It was developed in 2017 to examine if a sustainable food landscape can be integrated into a public park—and it can! Aside from providing food and medicinal plants, we’ve jump-started thinking about new ways to use land within the city.
Visit the Foodway, virtually or in person! And come pitch in to help us with the gift of growing.Â
The Amazing Bronx River Flotilla is one of the most exciting ways to get out on the water and explore the Bronx River.

You’ll feel more part of this land and the people (and nature) living with it.Â
The Bronx River Alliance serves as a coordinated voice for the river and works in harmonious partnership to protect, improve and restore the Bronx River corridor so that it can be a healthy ecological, recreational, educational and economic resource for the communities through which the river flows.
The Alliance works in close partnership with the New York City Department of Parks & Recreation and with over one hundred other partners to reclaim the Bronx River.
