Our experience of and connection to the Connecticut River Watershed leads to greater learning, stewardship, and advocacy. The theme of this year's Gathering is recreation. Join us to hear directly from a panel featuring the four watershed state Offices of Outdoor Recreation and watch and listen to the inspiring journey of a Connecticut River thru-paddler.
Bring your ideas for collaboration and your specific needs to accomplish your goals and projects in the watershed, and together we'll connect the dots to get to greater impact! ALL are welcome!
Please register here no later than October 1st. A detailed agenda will be emailed to registered participants closer to the date. If you have any questions, reach out directly to CRWP Outreach Coordinator, Kathy Baugh at kbaugh@massaudubon.org.
