- Drinking water for 120,000 people
- 10,000 years of human history—and nearly 400 years of industry
We Thank Those Who Came Before Us
We acknowledge and honor the Indigenous communities who have cared for the land and waters of the Neponset River Watershed for at least 10,000 years.
The Watershed includes portions of the traditional lands of the Massachusett, Nipmuc, Pokanoket, and Wampanoag.
Today’s use and enjoyment of this place are rooted in their long stewardship and the history of their forced separation from these lands through colonization. As you explore the Watershed, we encourage you to join us in actively learning about its past and current Indigenous heritage.
Lend a hand with neighbors to help care for the River we all share.
Keep this work going as a member with year-round support.
