Nurdle Training May 8

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 Thursday, May 8 at 5:30 p.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.
