The "trash jam" we worked on for a while. just a big floating island of wood and other floating trash like bottles, styrofoam, etc. Thanks to those that joined. And oh my was that part of greenbrook bendy and full of nice holes + runs! Looks like a fun river for smallies |

Wow Andy, That's an unbelievable but believable trash pile day.
Curious, what did you see the most of?

Re: The Green Brook 12/3/17:
We all live downstream. For those of you who live downstream of Greenbrook, look at the pictures and see what was coming your way. All of this stuff would have made its way into the Raritan. Thanks for you and your gang wading in and doing something about cleaning it up.
Oh, by the way, I'm not sure about that trout poster. The Green Brook is stocked a long way upstream in Union County and not where you were working.....unless someone is withholding some information about where the trout are dumped. To my knowledge, there is no trout stocking on the Green Brook anywhere south of Route 22. So, I'm wondering about the sign. |

Re: The Green Brook 12/3/17:
True the Green Brook is stocked by Seelys pond and the Watchung Reservation. The area cleaned is 6 miles from the stocking point. Amazing to me how is goes from trout stocked water to an absolute mess in 6 miles.

Re: The Green Brook 12/3/17:
Every time you drive along Route 22 through Somerset County, look at the litter along the shoulder. All of the sewers in that stretch drain into the Green Brook and then into the Raritan. The plastics and cigarette butts and garbage get washed down those sewers and the pollution spreads with each heavy rain. It's disgusting. Think of all of the towns along that waterway which could volunteer to clean their own house before things get as bad as the picture indicates. Think about how the state could help by cleaning its roads.
