Elizabeth River Duel: Beauty vs. Pollution

Join me on a unique journey down the Elizabeth River Parkway in Hillside, New Jersey. Wearing my trusty flannel and rubber boots, I venture into the river itself, walking through gently swirling rapids to reveal views unseen by many locals. As I traverse this hidden natural pathway, I discuss the concerning water quality and pollution issues plaguing the Elizabeth River. Despite the environmental challenges, the river's beauty and resilience shine through. From the merging of the West Branch creating a surprising peninsula to an unplanned, picturesque detour towards Vauxhall Road, this adventure offers more than just a walk—it's a call to appreciate and protect our local waters. Ending my trek on Liberty Avenue with a slice of pizza, this video encapsulates the spirit of discovery and the urgent need for environmental awareness.
