At Fort Knox, a “cribbing project” built of logs stabilizes the west (right) bank and surrounds the small steps leading to the river. A bridge foundation from a nineteenth century estate still stands in the river, and the east (left) bank was home to a tapestry mill at the turn of the 20th century. Access to river here is incredibly limited and should only be used in emergency cases.
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.
