Water Chestnuts Galore!

Hi everyone! I have some great news to share. Thanks to a generous matching grant, applied for by Charles River Canoe and Kayak and funded by the state, as well as the wonderfully large expression of interest in the program from the public, the CRWA has decided to expand the 2011 program!

There will now be two additional public events:

Wednesday, July 27th - 5:00-8:00 pm
Saturday, July 30th - 9:00 am - 1:00 pm

There will also be the availability for individuals or smaller groups to volunteer on Wednesdays between 1:30 and 8:00 p.m. and Fridays between 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m.

Please e-mail the Water Chestnut Program Intern at waterchestnut@crwa.org for more information!

Welcome to the Charles River Watershed Association's Intern Blog

CRWA's mission is to use science, advocacy and the law to protect, preserve and enhance the Charles River and its watershed.

One of the country's oldest watershed organizations, Charles River Watershed Association (CRWA) was formed in 1965 in response to public concern about the declining condition of the Charles. Since its earliest days of advocacy, CRWA has figured prominently in major clean-up and watershed protection efforts, working with government officials and citizen groups from 35 Massachusetts watershed towns from Hopkinton to Boston. Initiatives over the last four decades have dramatically improved the quality of water in the watershed and fundamentally changed approaches to water resource management.

While CRWA’s mission focuses on the Charles River, the implications and applicability of our science-based work go far beyond the watershed’s boundaries. Much of CRWA’s work is cutting edge and therein lies our unique strength and effectiveness: we use our scientific knowledge of the Charles to develop innovative, workable solutions to watershed problems. This knowledge allows CRWA not only to advocate persuasively for outcomes, but also to partner with government agencies and other environmental groups to protect the natural environment and to promote sustainable ecosystem policies and practices.
