Our History
Celebrating a decade of work!
Park Watershed is celebrating a decade of work to raise awareness about the health of the Park River regional watershed.
The concept of Park Watershed emerged during research on urban watersheds conducted by The Ecological Cities that was funded by a National Science Foundation grant. Then, The Park River Watershed Revitalization Initiative was formed in 2005- a project of the The Farmington River Watershed Association (FRWA). Project work included river-cleanups and stream surveys. Based on goals outlined in the North Branch Park River Watershed Management Plan, which was approved in 2010 by US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and Connecticut Department of Environmental Protection, Park Watershed Inc. was formed as a 501c3 community stewardship organization on April 26, 2012.
