“Where the Rivers Meet,

an NRWA Hike”

The public is invited to explore the new conservation area that protects the important confluence of the Squannacook and Nashua Rivers in Shirley.  Nashua River Watershed Association (NRWA) Land Programs Director, Al Futterman will lead this free “Where the Rivers Meet” walk on Sunday, May 3^rd from 10:00 AM to Noon.  We’ll hike along the river’s edge and learn about the environmental significance of the area.  Jim Farnsworth of Shirley will join us to share the history of the property and what it has meant to his family over several generations.  Jim has permanently protected the land and made a gift of it to the town of Shirley.

This hike is part of a series of free programs, open to the public, which the Nashua River Watershed Association is offering in celebration of its 40^th Anniversary.  Over the course of the year, NRWA will be presenting a free public program in each of our 32 communities; visit www.NashuaRiverWatershed.org for additional information.

The Nashua River Watershed Association is an environmental non-profit organization that depends on memberships for support.
