NepRWA relies on the generosity of corporate groups to support projects throughout the year, and we are incredibly grateful for their time, hard work, and dedication.
This page highlights some of the ways our corporate volunteers have made a difference—removing trash from rivers and parks, restoring habitats, and creating trails and green spaces for the community to enjoy.
We offer rewarding, team-building community service opportunities for local businesses and corporations within the Neponset River Watershed. Our staff will work with you to discuss your goals and design a volunteer project that’s right for your team.
