Staten Island Bluebelt Cleanup

The Staten Island Bluebelt is an award winning stormwater management system for approximately one-third of Staten Island’s land area. Unfortunately, these vital wetlands were heavily littered with debris in the wake of Hurricane Sandy, and they need your help in restoring them to their natural beauty.
