Thanks for your interest in the Connecticut River Conservancy!
Since 1952, we’ve been working alongside many partners to preserve and protect the Connecticut River, all of its tributary rivers and streams, and the 11,000 square miles of land that water travels over before finding its way straight into this mighty river.
In partnership with many others and through the support of people like you, CRC continues work to:
- Advocate for regulations that protect fish, keep trash out of our 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 – hundreds every year – to monitor fish, remove invasive plants choking our waterways, and clean 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.
You can preserve and protect your local rivers!
