National Parks Service coming to Newark’s Riverfront

Through their Rivers, Trails, and Conservation Assistance Program (RTCA), the National Parks Service has awarded Newark Riverfront Regeneration technical assistance in support of initiatives to increase public access to and along Newark’s riverfront.

RTCA is the community assistance arm of the National Park Service, and supports community-led natural resource conservation and outdoor recreation projects.

Over the course of 2011, RTCA staff will work with Newark Riverfront Regeneration and other partners to test the feasibility of, build support for, and maybe even build modest projects that bring Newarkers and others to and along the water’s edge. Stay tuned!
