Thirty years ago seventy eight free-flowing miles of the Westfield River became the first Massachusetts river to receive federal designation as a Wild & Scenic River. The designation was in recognition of the outstandingly remarkable scenic, recreational, geologic, aquatic life, wildlife, water quality, historic, or cultural features of the river, its tributaries and watershed. 

Westfield River Wild & Scenic Committee Chair , Cindy Delpapa and Volunteer and Projects coordinator, Meredyth Babcock will be at BAC to share some of the amazing projects, creative outreach and ongoing programs championed by the Westfield River WIld & Scenic Committee to protect and enhance our Westfield River. Come hear what your community is doing and how you too can be a river steward.
