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.
