Communication with the Public

The NRWA's RIVERSCAPE newsletter was expensive to publish and mail and consumed a great deal of volunteer time. Presently, NRWA, Inc. needs financial support to maintain its communication with the public through its website.

**** Please help by making a donation. NRWA, Inc. is a 501(C3) non-profit.

The Naugatuck River Watershed Association, Inc. welcomes donations from individuals, groups, clubs, businesses, civic organizations, foundations, manufacturing companies and any entity that is interested in maintaining and enhancing the quality of the life and environment for people and wildlife in the Naugatuck River Watershed. Its main expense is maintaining and enhancing its website. Naugatuck River Watershed Association, Inc. information is located at two websites. The most comprehensive and key site is www.naugawatshed.org. It's the main method of communication with the public. The second site Naugatuck River Watershed Association is being maintained by Lewis Mills High School students and staff. At www.naugawatshed.org, note: At this time the only Active Buttons on the Homepage are: Naugatuck River Watershed, What is a Watershed? Note: At the bottom of page 4 there are links to: Watershed Atlas (including Site Maps and Search Engine) and Watershed Game Maps of the Naugatuck River Watershed History of the Naugatuck River. The other references/topics/items printed in the left hand margin of the Homepage from "Problems on the Naugatuck River" down to "Links to Articles" will be added as time and finances permit. There are links to: Naugatuck-Pomperaug Chapter TU, Rivers Alliance of CT and NRWA's second website Naugatuck River Watershed Association.

NRWA's Mission Statement, Objectives and Action Plans and Board of Directors have been stated. Collectively, members of the Board have about 100 years of experience working to improve and protect the environment for everyone. In that process, they have donated thousands of hours of their time. Hundreds of other volunteers have volunteered 5 to 10 hours each in a number of ways including: cleaning up the river and its banks, planting trees, bushes, flowers and grasses and building and erecting bird houses.

The following is a partial list of School Ecology Clubs and Scout Troops which NRWA has worked with in completing conservation related projects:

Note: The list of individual, corporate and foundation donators is too long to publish. NRWA has financially supported: Litchfield County Conservation District, Rivers Alliance of CT, Long Island Sound Fund and Trout Unlimited, has awarded several scholarships to deserving high school graduates and sponsored Eagle Scout projects.
