About C4R:
The Chicopee River Watershed is the largest in Massachusetts and the largest in the entire Connecticut River basin. (its the rose color area near the center)
Before 2014, the watershed had no active river group advocating for its conservation and community enjoyment. The former ChicRWC had gone dormant, C4RWC is the fresh effort to renew a group to provide stewardship and enjoyment of the 4 rivers of the Chicopee basin: Ware, Quaboag, Swift, Chicopee. We added the “4” to emphasize our reach to ALL local rivers.
C4R’s focus covers these efforts:
- Blue Trails – river access, recreation, connection
- Monitoring – river health, community health, citizen science
- Clean ups – restoration, stewardship
- Organizing – events, support, needed funding, leadership
- Education – know our local rivers, water quality issues, nature
