Mission
The mission of our organization is to protect and restore Massachusetts rivers and streams.
Program accomplishments
- The MassachusettsRivers Alliance was formed to protect rivers and streams in Massachusetts by developing and encouraging practical, effective policy for a sustainable future. In 2024, Mass Rivers taught over 500 people about dam removal to accelerate the pace of river restoration in Massachusetts. The organization helped secure over $14M in increased investment in state agencyprograms that protect and restore rivers. The organization also connected and strengthened over 80 member groups through monthly and bi-monthly peer-to-peer meetings, moved its top priority (known as "the drought bill") closer to passage, and stopped several harmful legislative initiatives. Mass Rivers represented water interests on over 30 committees, commissions, task forces, and advisory groups.Expenses $363,700
