Our first participant was Ruth Anderberg, who started the project to uncover the Bronx River. When she began her work there were few accessible sections of the river in the Bronx, and the parts you could see were overflowing with junk. Anderberg and many others have since cleaned up the river and continue to work on its greenway.
