Charles River Watershed Association

Friday, September 16, 2011

After all the rain, it is nice to see the sun high in the sky today. Things have been pretty busy, here at the CRWA, with new interns starting up, and the fall just beginning to set in, I am excited for what's to come. Water flagging will continue through the October, and I can't wait to get out on the river again, even if the temperature has dropped a few degrees. I can only imagine how beautiful the fall foliage will look from The Charles. Whether you're a fan of the autumnal weather or not, I think it's a sure thing, nothing is more beautiful than Boston in the fall.

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.
