Join us for an end of year LiveStream to celebrate some of the accomplishments made throughout the watershed in 2024! During this virtual event you will hear from Connecticut River Conservancy’s Executive Director, Rebecca Todd, and many other staff representing our programmatic work for clean water, healthy habitats, and resilient communities. There will be a series of brief presentations on everything from invasive species to dam removals and restoration projects. You will even get the chance to ask any questions you may have about migratory fish, or how many plastic bottles were pulled out of the river at this year’s Source to Sea Cleanup. Come join us for a riverside round robin as we gear up for another exciting year ahead! This is a virtual event you’ll be able to access from home via Zoom. A link to access will be sent to you after registration. The event will be recorded and shared the following day with all those who RSVP. The presentation portion of the event is expected to last just under an hour, with staff staying on though 1:15pm to address any questions.
