What makes our watershed so great?

World class fishing, biking, hiking, paddling, history and sightseeing are all around us. There’s so much to love, and so many ways to enjoy!

From the Long Island Sound’s tidal marshes to the Appalachian Trail, covered bridges, rolling hills and the mountain waterfalls of the Berkshires, this is one special part of the world!

Local Students Revive an Urban River

Running north from Danbury to New Milford, the Still River’s industrial legacy and urban surroundings make it THE most polluted sub-watershed in our region.

Thanks to our donors, partners, and a team of young environmentalists, we’re working to turn that around!

Help Save the Still

We’re proud partners in Follow the Forest, a new regional initiative protecting the woods and wildlife corridors of the Northeast.
