Cooper River Biofilter (Camden County, NJ)

DRN, with project partners, designed and constructed a biofilter wetland along the Cooper River to reduce non-point source pollutants reaching the river. DRN has continued monitoring and maintaining the site with the help of volunteers, removing invasive species andreplanting with native trees and shrubs. An additional tree planting was conducted on the opposite river bank at the Camden County Boathouse. Recent efforts of this project were funded by the Fish and Wildlife Service, Camden County Municipal Utilities Authority, and Cooper River Watershed Association.
