“Nashua River in Autumn:

NRWA Guided Paddle for Families”

The Nashua River Watershed Association (NRWA) invites families to join us for a guided paddle on the spectacular section of the Nashua River from the Ayer Ice House Dam downstream into Groton.  This river trip will take place on Sunday, September 20^th, from 12:30 to 4:30 PM, beginning and ending in Ayer.  Your guide will be Stacey Chilcoat, NRWA River Classroom Director.  On this lovely flatwater paddle (approx. 5 miles), we’ll look for signs of wildlife, learn about the natural history of the river, and simply enjoy the changes that the season brings to the river landscape.  A great family outing! 

Special thanks to Grady Research of Ayer for sponsoring this river trip!

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