Videos featuring Burlington Island

Burlington Island: A Historical Treasure with a Modern Mission

This video highlights Burlington Island, a place rich in history and natural beauty. It discusses the island's significance as the first European settlement in New Jersey and mentions its role in the survival of early settlers. It showcases the island's condition and the importance of recreation, education, and conservation, depicting efforts to clean up the island and preserve its natural beauty. 

Cleaning Up Burlington Island: A Look Back and a Look Ahead

 This video documents the 2nd Annual Spring Cleanup of Burlington Island. Volunteers are cleaning up debris from the island, once home to an amusement park. It also includes volunteer interviews about why they participate in the cleanup and what they hope to achieve. 

How 96,100 Pounds was Removed from Burlington Island

 

Home to historical infrastructure and debris that had broken down into piles of rusted trash, Burlington Island was presenting a serious threat to the health of the Delaware River. Century-old trash was sinking into the river after heavy rains and floods and also leaching chemicals into the soil and riverbeds. United by Blue partnered with the City of Burlington and the Board of Island Managers, as well as several private sector businesses like, Sea Tow Delaware, Allied Recycling, and River Services, to execute this complicated cleanup. First, it took weeks to transport the needed machinery to the island, including a barge to make trips back and forth, to bring trash back to the mainland to be disposed of and recycled. The successful cleanup can be watched because it is worthy of a documentary of its own! Click the link below to learn more about United by Blue and all the great things they do!
