The Nashua River Watershed Association has just celebrated its 40th Anniversary! Founded in 1969, the NRWA's mission is to work for a healthy ecosystem with clean water and open spaces for human and wildlife communities, where people work together to sustain mutual economic and environmental well-being in the Nashua River watershed.

Our goals:

• Restore and protect water quality and quantity for people, fish, and wildlife
• Conserve open spaces for water quality, wildlife habitat, farms, forests, and recreation
• Encourage careful land use with well-planned development

The NRWA is an environmental non-profit and our success depends on members and volunteers. Help make our vision a reality!
