Advocates for the River

HooRWA is a  citizens’ group that looks after the river.  We are dedicated to the habitat restoration, conservation and enjoyment of the Hoosic River and its watershed, through education, research and advocacy. We envision a watershed that is ecologically sound and adds to the quality of life of its residents.

 

Rounding Up In April

As we get ready to celebrate Earth Day in April, HooRWA has partnered with  Wild Oats Market here in Williamstown as a featured           Round Up For Change organization. For the month of April, customers will be invited to round up their total purchase amounts to donate their spare change to benefit HooRWA’s mission to conserve and enjoy the river. Shop Wild Oats!!

As Covid-19 releases its grip on us and we begin to consider being outdoors, look to our events calendar for opportunities to volunteer on trail building, learn to fly-fish, take a summer hike or a fall bike ride with HooRWA!

HooRWA has published “Dispatches from the Beyond Place: Tales of the Hoosic River,”  A copy can be found here on our website under the About Us tab and then under History.

 

 

Paddling between North Adams and Pownal is usuallly safest when the Williamstown gauge reads 200cfs - 700cfs.
