Mission
To protect and restore water quality and fish and wildlife habitats in the Norwalk River Watershed. Incorporated in 1996, NRWA is a nonprofit membership organization that accomplishes its mission by engaging community volunteers to help restore native trees, shrubs, wildflowers and grasses to the riverbanks, meadows, parks and forests of the watershed; working to expand community access to the river, the surrounding open space and its trails; supporting research and legislative policy that protects biodiversity, clean air and water; and promoting education, cooperation and action on the part of the stakeholders in the seven watershed towns in Connecticut (Ridgefield, Redding, Wilton, New Canaan, Weston and Norwalk) and New York (Lewisboro). We are working to help implement Norwalk Watershed Action Plan. We are working to help implement the Norwalk River Watershed Action Plan.

Habitat Restoration: 10 acres restored at 7 management sites, invasive plants removed and areas re-planted with native plantings including 143 trees and shrubs, 1700 wildflowers and grasses and 3 pounds of wildflower seeds.
River Cleanups and Water Quality Testing: Two cleanups engaged 85 volunteers and removed 425 pounds of trash from the river. NRWA helped carry out testing for pesticides in rivers across southwest Connecticut and worked with UCONN to analyze that data and existing testing to create a report entitled Neonics in Connecticut Waters. NRWA is the lead organizer of CT Pesticide Reform Coalition, a group of over 40 conservation organizations working to update state pesticide policy.
