We know that climate change is reshaping our Watershed—and nowhere is it more visible than in the Neponset Estuary. Working together with community members makes a difference in how we deal with it.
The Neponset Estuary Community Advisory Committee (CAC) brings together residents, community groups, business owners, and municipal staff to plan for climate change and guide the future of open space along the estuary.
Consider joining the CAC to help shape local climate plans. We especially welcome people who:
- Live or work in environmental justice neighborhoods
- Have strong ties to local communities
- Represent groups most affected by climate change
No experience with climate policy is needed—we’ll learn together about local risks, solutions, and what works best for our area. Your experience is your expertise, and we want to hear from you!
The CAC meets about four times a year, with extra meetings as needed for ongoing projects.
Members learn about sea level rise modeling, salt marsh changes, flooding, and which management options make the most sense for our area.
For more information or any questions, please email NepRWA River Restoration Director, Sean McCanty, at mccanty@neponset.org
