Review for Merrimack River Watershed Council Inc, Lawrence, MA, USA
I feel like I've grown along with the MRWC. I started out just wanting to have a group to paddle with - people who knew were to get on the river and where to get off. I've since learned there is much more to the group and have become involved by trying to get other people to appreciate and want to protect the river and it's watershed. Having grown up in a time when the Merrimack and other local rivers were not inviting places to paddle. Paddling them today, I quickly learned that, even as they flow through the busiest cities, they have beauty to share and wildlife to cherish. Rivers really are the lifeblood of all creatures on this earth. I'm grateful the the MRWC for championing and monitoring the mighty Merrimack and it's tributaries.
