Review for Charles River Watershed Association, Inc., Weston, MA, USA
The Charles River Watershed Association (CRWA) is an amazingly effective organization that has worked hard for more then 40 years to clean up the most important river in eastern Massachusetts, the Charles. The organization is lean and mean, using the expertise of scientists, urban planners, engineers, lawyers and a multitude of volunteers to ensure that both wildlife and human activity thrive despite the encroachment of urban development. Everyone who lives, works, studies or plays in sight of this river should get involved with CRWA.
