Through WPWAs leadership, team work among towns and
guidance from state agencies and key non-profits these rivers have
finally achieved the official status as ...
"Wood-Pawcatuck
Wild and Scenic Rivers."
Resident support for this layer of protection and
enhancement has been evident to municipal leaders and congressional
delegates of both RI and CT, many of whom will attend.
A Stewardship Council is forming so town
representatives sit together regularly, discussing rivers that cross town
lines. Many towns have already appointed their representatives to serve
on the Council, as has RI DEM and a few key non-profits.
Now is the time to celebrate this major accomplishment
and kick-off the Stewardship Council.
