The Wood-Pawcatuck
Wild and Scenic Rivers Study Committee is looking for local residents
with a keen interest in working towards the protection of the Beaver,
Chipuxet, Queen, Wood, Pawcatuck, Green Falls, and Shunock Rivers in the
Wood-Pawcatuck Watershed.
The Wood-Pawcatuck Wild and Scenic Study Committee is entering a critical
phase of the three year study - identifying the Outstandingly Remarkable
Values of the rivers under study. Representatives from all the watershed
towns, appointed by their local government, are needed to help with this
important work. Each town may appoint up to 2 residents.
Currently we have one opening in the towns of Exeter, West Greenwich,
Westerly, Richmond, Voluntown, and Sterling; and two openings in Charlestown.
 Responsibilities
include participating in committee and subcommittee meetings, about once
or twice a month; reviewing and commenting on documents and
reports; and reporting to your town. To learn more about this study go to
http://wpwa.org/wildandscenic.htm.
We need knowledgeable local people from all walks of life
who care about the rivers. No need for scientific expertise; just
your passion and commitment to preserving the special rivers in your town
for future generations. Coordination for this project is provided
by WPWA and the National Parks Service. Contact Denise Poyer for
more information: denisep@wpwa.org
or 401-539-9017.
