North and South Rivers Watershed Association Inc

Mission

The mission of the North and South Rivers Watershed Association is to preserve, restore, maintain and conserve in their natural state, the waters and related natural resources within the watershed. Our goals are to (1) restore the water quality of the rivers by identifying and correcting adverse impacts; (2) encourage stewardship of the watershed through public education, outreach and recreation programs; and (3) promote responsible growth by working in partnerships to preserve open space, scenic vistas and sensitive natural resources.

Programs

The NSRWA's programs include an extensive water quality monitoring program, a quarterly newsletter, annual "Water Watch" lecture series, river clean-ups, River Adventures Camp for local teenagers, and a Community Preservation Network. To engage members of the community, NSRWA hosts several annual events including river tours and paddles, interpretive nature walks, the Great River Race and Melonseed Regatta, and an Annual Meeting.
