The longest river solely in New Jersey gets the video spotlight in WildNewJersey.tv Productions' 11-minute documentary, "Raritan River: From Brownfields to Greenfields." Co-hosted and produced by David Wheeler and Krysti Sabins, the video aired before the second annual Raritan River Conference, hosted by Rutgers University this summer.

The documentary highlights the ongoing recovery of wildlife and public access along the Raritan River, and includes interviews with many of the key players on the Lower Raritan River, including Edison Mayor Antonia Ricigliano, Woodbridge Mayor John McCormac, Middlesex County Freeholder James Polos, EWA's Robert Spiegel, New Jersey Audubon's Nellie Tsipoura, Bayshore Recycling's Valerie Montecalvo, and representatives from Rutgers University and the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society's Whale Wars crew.

Be sure to enjoy the entertaining finale, a "Brady Bunch"-style compilation of odes to the Raritan, followed by a stunning a capella rendition of a Raritan anthem by Grace Lawrence and the Hackettstown Owlettes.

A year ago, WildNewJersey.tv released "The Raritan: New Jersey's Queen of Rivers," an 8-minute documentary highlighting the Raritan's recovery over the past two decades, spurred in large part by the determined actions of environmental organizations like Edison Wetlands Association and NY-NJ Baykeeper. The video highlighted the thriving fish population and the return of species such as bald eagle, osprey,American bittern, beaver, and harbor seals to the river and its tributaries.
