All who call the SuAsCo watershed home have a part to play in protecting and restoring our 3 rivers. By partnering with us, we can make great strides to continue protecting the drinking water, recreational joy, wildlife habitat, climate resilience, and beauty and serenity of our 3 rivers for future generations.

Your gift today will help protect and revitalize the Sudbury, Assabet, and Concord rivers for generations to come through OARS. It will fund vital ecological restoration projects, advocacy for healthier policies, and the expansion of programs that connect more people to our rivers. Together, we can tackle persistent challenges like pollution, habitat fragmentation, climate change, and equitable access while ensuring these waterways remain healthy, resilient, and accessible for all.
