About this event

Brendan Annett, Vice President, Watershed Protection, Buzzards Bay Coalition

Come see and learn about how land trusts are working together with towns in the region on coordinated watershed land conservation efforts that have protected thousands of acres in the Mattapoisett River Valley. We’ll also visit and learn about a related partnership that is advancing large scale wetland/stream ecological restoration. These coordinated projects benefit water quality, buffer flooding and drought and enhance the resilience of a regionally important drinking water supply, fish/wildlife resources, outdoor recreation opportunities and local agriculture.
