Since its inception, the WRWMG has served as the liaison between the NJDEP and the residents of Sussex County, responsible for disseminating information and generating public participation in watershed management, planning, and stewardship activities. The WRWMG is extremely proud to have successfully fostered and maintained cooperative partnerships with Federal, State, County, and Municipal officials, farmers, local businesses, and individual citizens.
