Happy Valentine's Day from the Farmington River! #love #FarmingtonRiver #frwa #nonprofit #stewardship #watershed #waterquality #rivers #water #valentinesday #beriversmart #hikect #beoutsidect #naturalconnecticut #conservation #connecticut_igers #nature

Great news! The Lower Farmington River and Salmon Brook would greatly benefit from this designation. Let's hope it keeps moving through Congress - next up the House! Thanks to all the hard work from the Lower Farmington Wild & Scenic Study Committee and dedication to this cause for YEARS and for all the support from our members, and partners!

A beautiful place to hike in the watershed is at Peoples State Forest - drive up West River Road then cross the river in Riverton to get in more gorgeous views of the #FarmingtonRiver before enjoying a hike. A shoutout to our friends at FALPs (Friends of American Legion & Peoples State Forest) for building this great boardwalk! Check it out: its off the Agnes Bowen Trail.

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.

#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

October 2, 1968 - 50 years ago today - President Lyndon B. Johnson signed into law the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act! The West Branch Farmington River is proud to celebrate its designation!
