Add to my favorites Added to favorites!
Target demographics: The 330,000 people who get their water from the Ipswich River and its surrounding watershed, as well as all the people who enjoy walking or paddling along the river.
Mission:
Protect wildlife, keep the Ipswich River flowing and provide clean, safe water
Results:
This year we will help residents in 9 towns to Greenscape - to have beautiful landscapes that protect our water, saving time and money. For the last few years we have spent a lot of time speaking for the river at meetings to shape sustainable water management for decades to come. We are leading a new partnership to restore the Ipswich, Parker and Essex Rivers and the Great Marsh; we will accomplish more by working together. We recently put in a new canoe dock at our headquarters, expanding public access to what many people say is the most beautiful part of the river. Members can use our canoes for free!
