Programs & Volunteer Activities
It takes volunteer-dedicated hours to assist in the preserving of the Parker River Ecosystem and Watershed. Oftentimes, the only compensation after sacrificing time and talents is to see a healthy community in balance with nature. Whether it is removing invasive plants, protecting vernal pools, doing fish counts, monitoring river flow, road-kill surveys and water-quality testing; it takes concerned citizens, working iwth non-profit and gvernment agencies to see our river system preserved. This teamwork has hleped to sustain the cleanest, and in Massachusett; the healthiest watershed in the state.
