Surveying the Assabet Shoreline
in Northborough

In Spring 2002, the Organization for the Assabet River (OAR), with the help of the Northborough Citizens for Community Preservation (NCCP), in cooperation with the town of Northborough organized "stream teams" to conduct a visual survey of the Assabet River, the Cold Harbor and Howard Brooks. The goal of the survey was to determine priorities for protection and restoration of the waterways in Northborough.

Although the survey and priority-setting has been completed, the stream teams need volunteers to help accomplish actions identified in the survey экскурсия на автобусе в ночной Петербург на развод мостов. By volunteering you can help your neighborhood, the environment, the town of Northborough and the Assabet River, all at the same time. We need your help. No experience is necessary.

The information that the "Stream Teams" gathered will help Northborough identify and reduce pollutants to the Assabet River. It will also help to identify recreational opportunities offered by the streams and rivers in Northborough, as well as improve the habitat for the fish and wildlife in our waterways.

After the survey, volunteers analyzed the data and met again to develop an action plan for Northborough. Our volunteers are now creating partnerships with municipal officials and other nonprofit organizations to implement this plan.
