Investing in the watershed

Every $1 raised is magnified 4.5 times and invested in the bay – 

Since our beginning in 2005 RCTB members and supporters have invested over $2,500,000 in our watershed.  In 2023 RCTB volunteers collectively devoted over 9,000 hours of service to the Barnegat Bay Watershed.
