A beautiful day by the Farmington River. Even just a few minutes outside by the river can put you in a great mood and restore your frame of mind. A little sunshine helps too! #FarmingtonRiver #FRWA #nonprofit #rivers #waterquality #pinchotsycamore #savenodroad #stewardship #environmental #beoutside #hikect #visitconnecticut #naturalconnecticut #noglassnotrash #bridges #simsbury #supportyournonprofit

#Repost @weantinoge ・・・ Vote YES on 2! Public Lands belong to all of us . Much of the Farmington River and it's tributaries run through state-owned land. Protecting these lands permanently is beneficial to the health of the watershed and for public access to beautiful spots along the river. Your "Yes Vote on Ballot Question #2" can directly affect these public lands now and in the future! #frwa #FarmingtonRiver #rivers #publiclands #vote #stewardship #watershed #waterquality #environmental #nature #wildlife #protectpubliclands

Autumn is a beautiful time of the year to enjoy the Farmington River and the forests that surround it. Here the river is flanked by two state parks, American Legion State Forest and Peoples State Forest. Protecting the land along the river corridor is extremely important for water quality and wildlife habitat. . #FarmingtonRiver #nonprofit #frwa #stewardship #rivers #wildandscenic #waterquality #watershed #peoplesstateforest #americanlegionforest #beoutside #nature #naturalconnecticut #hikect #visitct #stateparks #forest #wildlife #autumn

Its raining in our watershed and we are celebrating the 50th birthday of the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act! Signed into law by President Johnson on October 2, 1968. Did you know that 14 miles of the West Branch #FarmingtonRiver are Wild and Scenic due to its outstandingly remarkable values? This year we have been celebrating through many events including our film festival, presentation by Tim Palmer (author of the book in the photo!), and Farmington River Quilt exhibitions (currently at th the State Capitol) #frwa #nonprofit #WildandScenic #rivers #stewardship #waterquality #water #watershed #visitct #naturalconnecticut visit frwa.org and farmingtonriver.org for more information

The Farmington River has a history and is a beautiful success story, one of strong citizen support. In the 1950's and 60's you would not want to swim or fish its waters due to unregulated pollution and sewage. With hard work and determination FRWA was established in 1953 by concern citizens of the time. For 65 years we have worked on cleaning up the river and it is vastly improved from the past. But that can easily be reverted. Which is why we continue to work hard to protect the river and address the current day challenges. FRWA is a citizen-based nonprofit organizion. Join us on our 31st annual River Cleanup on September 29th!
