World Rivers Day is a global celebration of the world’s waterways, observed every last Sunday in September.  Established in 2005, it highlights the many values of rivers and strives to increase public awareness while encouraging the improved stewardship of rivers around the world. Rivers in every country face an array of threats, and World Rivers Day promotes the active involvement of citizens to ensure the health of rivers in the years ahead.  The focus this year will be the trains along the Delaware River.  Cosponsors: Washington Crossing Audubon Society, Bordentown City Environmental Commission
