Summary
The Schuylkill River flows 137 miles through Schuylkill, Berks, Montgomery, Chester, and Philadelphia Counties before reaching the Delaware River. Philadelphians fish, boat, and live next to these rivers, but what's below the water's surface? Can you eat fish from the rivers? Should you swim in them? Host Trenae Nuri speaks with Erin Mooney, executive director at The Schuylkill Center for Environmental Education. Our newsletter has Philly news & events in your inbox every weekday morning.
