Your gift cleans up the River, restores fish and wildlife habitats, and opens up recreational access for all.
Help leverage science, engineering, and nature-based solutions to:
- Gather information about local flooding and adaptation priorities from the public.
- Identify shared adaptation needs, and develop opportunities to collaborate across town lines on implementation.
- Deploy cutting-edge science to determine exactly where flooding will increase in the future and evaluate strategies to reduce it.
- Explore nature-based solutions that manage climate impacts by restoring floodplains, streams, wetlands, aquifers, and vegetation and provide immediate benefits for wildlife, recreation, and carbon sequestration.
- Make a special effort to engage the residents who face the greatest risk—seniors, those with limited incomes, people of color, and immigrants—by funding key community-based organizations, conducting outreach in multiple languages, and hosting targeted focus groups.
