FYI

New England is not facing a Mad Max-style reckoning where people risk going thirsty. But we do need to prepare for a drier future.

Good Journey, Wendell Berry.

May we honor his memory by heeding his words: “Do unto those downstream as you would have those upstream do unto you.”

HooRWA buddies and anglers Greg & Bobby caught a carp in the lower Hoosic. Reported that they didn't see any trout but they were focusing on the carp this time around.

Though it's been rainy, afternoon predictions say cloudy, so if you are game, so are we.
Fairies appreciate human kindness. Come build them fairy houses along the shore of the Green River from natural found objects after your first day of school. As we co-create beauty around us we’ll sneak in learning about the importance of a healthy riverine ecosystem through song and play. Join HooRWA and naturalist educator Arianna Alexsandra Collins on Tuesday, September 1 from 4:30-5:30pm for this free whimsical family friendly program.

River magic will take place along the Green River on the Linear Link Trail at Linear Park on Water Street (Mount Pleasant Playground) in Williamstown, MA. There is a small parking lot at the Mount Pleasant Playground. If that is full you can park along the road across the street. Please register at https://forms.gle/aBwYihBYMoY73Sqy9
so we know how many fairy friends to expect.

This free program is made possible by a grant from the Berkshire Environmental Endowment Fund, a fund of the Berkshire Taconic Community Foundation.
