Nurdle Patrol Training May 9

Nurdle Patrol Volunteers help us find and map the location of these nurdles to be included in a Nationwide Nurdle Patrol Project. Attend an in-person training and learn how to contribute data to this project!

Please join us Saturday, May 9 from 10 – 11 a.m. at Gratwick Waterfront Park in North Tonawanda for an in person training.

Nurdles are small plastic pellets, about the size of a lentil, used in plastics manufacturing. This plastic pollution has been found on the shorelines of several waterways within the Niagara River/Lake Erie Watershed.

To learn more about nurdles, listen to Buffalo Niagara Waterkeeper’s podcast, Between Two Great Lakes and the episode So how big is a nurdle? Click here to listen.
