WARDSBORO — Here in southeastern Vermont, the health of our rivers and streams affects all of us.
Since 2003, a small, nonprofit organization has been monitoring these waters. That organization has also brought problematic issues to the attention of the Vermont Agency of Natural Resources for corrective action.
That organization is the Southeastern Vermont Watershed Alliance (SeVWA), also known as the West River Watershed Alliance (WRWA).
Join us on April 13 for the “River Resources Rendezvous: SeVWA Celebrates a Decade of Service,” at the Williamsville Hall, 35 Dover Road in Williamsville. The rendezvous is from 6 to 8:30 p.m. and looks to be an exciting evening.
Bring your friends and find out how you can be involved in protecting the health of the watersheds of the West River, Saxtons River, Williams River, Whetstone Brook, and all the streams that feed in to them.
Learn about and celebrate what SeVWA has accomplished over the past 10 years, and hear about its aspirations. Enjoy music, food, and drink, and hear from key folks who have kept this watch for 10 years.
We need to raise at least $10,000 in the next few months just to keep our flagship water-quality monitoring program going for 2012. If we can double that goal this year, it will enable us to move toward a sustainable future.
So help us make the River Resources Rendezvous a huge success. Donations are always welcome and can be mailed to SeVWA, P.O. Box 402, Brattleboro, VT 05302.
