Blackstone River Watershed Association 

The Blackstone River Watershed Association (BRWA) was established in 1969 and has since played an instrumental role in cleaning up what was described as an “industrial river” in the 19th and 20th centuries. Although still threatened by industrial and increasingly residential pollution sources, the health of the Blackstone's River system continues to improve. Our mission is to engage, educate, and advocate for improved water quality in the Blackstone River watershed.
