Our Mission:

....Home Page

The Tatnuck Brook Watershed Association's efforts will have succeeded when:

1) The waterbodies of our watershed pass the legal standards for safe swimming.
 

2) The fish in the waterbodies pass the legal standards for eating, and these waterbodies support a rich, pre-industrial ecosystem of  native organisms, including fish that once again migrate here from the ocean to spawn.
 

3) The depth and area of the waterbodies are stabilized, unthreatened by sedimentation and plant growth.
 

4) Residents of the watershed can live in peace and calm, unencumbered by excessive noise, lights and offensive odors.
 

5) All residents of the watershed live within a 15 minute walk of a publicly accessible forest.
 

6) There exist legal restrictions on land and water use within the watershed to ensure points 1-5 into perpetuity.
 

7) The watershed association supports regularly scheduled community outreach efforts to maintain and increase awareness of watershed  issues among all watershed residents.
 

8) Watershed citizens work with students and faculty in Worcester's schools and universities to continuously and cooperatively monitor, study and improve the watershed.
 

9) TBWA cooperates with other watershed improvement efforts and conservation efforts regionally and nationally.
