Reflecting on 2022, Together.

What can we do for the Charles River in one year? A lot! 

  • 1,114 volunteers contributed over 9,200 hours to a clean, healthy river

  • 663 water quality samples to monitor our river and protect public health

  • 7,487 pounds of invasive water chestnuts removed

  • 272 square miles across 20 communities studied to identify 50+ solutions for flooding!

  • 1 successful vote to remove South Natick Dam!

  • 1 landmark conservation bill signed into law, ensuring permanent protection of public lands!

  • Successful advocacy to compel EPA to regulate stormwater pollution from large private properties with RDA!

  • 131 community events, 30 students trained in green infrastructure, 17 school visits, and 1,200+ students reached.

And, this is all thanks to you! With your support, together we can have a real impact on our beloved Charles River. As we look forward to 2023, your gift will ensure we can continue this essential work.
