🎶"I would ride 500 miles, and I would ride 500 more just to be the man who rode a thousand miles to help save MA's shore! Dadadada!"

In the spirit of funny testimonials (we’re thinking of you New Bedford Whaling Museum), this is what one of our Riders had to say about the Watershed Ride last year in response to our anonymous survey 👆

We're not asking you to ride 500 miles.... instead choose from 20, 41, & 100-mile route options this year, all ending at the same epic party in Woods Hole!

What does it look like when we test water quality out on the Bay?

Here in New Bedford Harbor, we're up before dawn. The sun rises as we collect water samples, measuring for temperature, clarity, salinity, and dissolved oxygen.

Along the way, we witness beautiful views like these.

Yesterday was hot, but this team was on fire! 🔥🔥

Our mighty team of runners has broken our fundraising record for the ASICS Falmouth Road Race this year, raising $61,877 for the Coalition's work ... and still climbing!! Thank you to our 37 runners and the sponsors, Fiber Optic Center Imtra Corporation and The Valle Group who have made this year a great success!

What a dreamy scene captured at the Mattapoisett Bogs during our vegetation monitoring! 🦋

➡️ What is vegetation monitoring?

We work with Woodwell Climate Research Center to monitor the same plots of vegetation each year starting before our restoration efforts and for several years after to ensure that we achieved our desired goal for vegetation condition!
