Thank You

A letter from one of CRWA's wonderful interns.

Dear CRWA staff,

I just wanted to thank you all for a great summer. Whether it was the beautiful 7AM boatrides out on the Charles River, or getting dirty harvesting water chestnuts, I only have incredible things to say about CRWA as an organization and all the amazing staff members who make it such a great place. Every single one of you has shown me what level of persitence and dedication it takes in this field. For all these reasons, I want to send a sincere thanks to all of you who made my summer unforgettable, and for showing me what it takes to be successful in the real world. As I search for jobs this December, I will bring with me all the passion and hardwork I learned here at CRWA. So again, thanks for everything (especially the cake and pizza!) and I hope you all enjoy the rest of your summers and please, keep in touch!

Sincerely,

Saloni Mehta

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.
