Thank you for enjoying the Connecticut River. Thanks to the interest and support of people like you, CRC will continue the important work to:
- Advocate for regulations that protect fish, keep trash out of local rivers, and prevent spills of sewage and other chemicals that cause harm.
- Test water for bacteria and share our results to help people understand river cleanliness when recreating.
- Engage volunteers – thousands every year – to monitor fish, remove invasive plants choking waterways, and remove tons of trash from the river.
- Restore hundreds of miles of riverbanks and plant thousands of trees each year, partnering with local landowners and communities on the river.
