Ecological Restoration
 The Ecological Restoration and Management Program works to protect, restore, and manage the New York City section of the Bronx River corridor and Greenway. With the guidance of the Bronx River Ecology Team—a committee of scientists, community activists, and public agency representatives—the Alliance determines which are the most pressing ecological restoration projects.
Then we tackle these projects, using rigorous science, sound planning and research, and with community stewardship and involvement. We send out teams—including students who are learning about environmental management—to restore trash-strewn and polluted areas of the river, and we continuously monitor river conditions. Our actions lead to better environmental policy and planning in both the city and the region, which in turn expands and strengthens other efforts to restore the watershed.
