The Westfield River drains the eastern slopes of the Berkshire Hills of southwestern Massachusetts, then joins the Connecticut River in Agawam. The Westfield River Watershed Association was established in 1953 to protect and improve the natural resources of the Watershed, as well as to expand recreational and other land use opportunities for people's enjoyment and for sound ecology. WRWA is a tax-exempt non-profit organization funded largely by membership dues and some grants. WRWA is governed by a Board of Directors who are elected each spring at the organization's annual meeting. If you share our goals, please join us by volunteering some time or becoming a member!     | |

Marmalade Productions has developed The Watershed Waltz (a puppet show on healthy watersheds targeted for elementary school children - you can view the trailer in the window at the left!) and has performed the show at a number of schools in the local area. The show, which has gotten rave reviews is available for bookings for 2012 (see brochure for information on related workshops). Please contact Meredyth Babcock (413-623-2070) for more information. This program is made possible through a grant of the Highland Communities Initiative, a program of The Trustees of Reservations. Teachers! Check out our Watershed Waltz Curriculum ideas, developed through a grant from the Community Foundation of Western Massachusetts. |
