Earth Day
Earth Day – and Earth Month in April – is the time of year when nature awakens after the slumber of winter and our field season begins to have the greatest possible impact for the Connecticut River watershed. Whether you’re taking small steps to support your local environment, or you’re ready to get your hands dirty for cleaner rivers, we have several ways to get involved.
Community Events
See a list of community events from our partners including volunteer opportunities, Earth Day festivals, and other ways to lend a hand for nature.
Support CRC's Mission
Make a contribution of any amount to support clean water and healthy habitats throughout the Connecticut River watershed.
Organize a DIY Cleanup
Trash is a big issue in our rivers and you can organize a group of any size to clean up a beach or park near you. Get started with our DIY Cleanup Guide.
#CTRiverWatershed
Whether your Earth Day entails river cleanups, advocacy, or simply appreciating the beauty of the great outdoors, we'd love to hear about it!
Share your experience with #ctriverwatershed and tag to @ctriverconservancy on Instagram. We’ll be on the lookout to share your photos.
You can show the beauty of your favorite river spot or tributary, or use this opportunity to raise awareness for the importance of conservation in your part of the Earth.
More Ways to Get Involved
If you’d like to read up on the local issues, our news page covers a range of updates including water quality research, education about local habitats and species, comment submissions to state agencies, and more. You can also sign up for our newsletter to be more informed about river-related news throughout the watershed in NH, VT, MA, and CT in your inbox.

If you observe a riverside area that could use a cleanup, contact our Source to Sea Cleanup Coordinator at slennard@ctriver.org.

Looking ahead beyond Earth Day to volunteer with us? We’ll have many community science activities throughout the summer.
