Library River Rocks

The Wild and Scenic Rivers Act was enacted by the US Congress as a way to protect and preserve certain rivers with outstanding natural, cultural, and recreational values for the enjoyment of present and future generations. In March 2019, the  Wood-Pawcatuck Watershed was designated as part of the National Wild and Scenic Rivers System. This Watershed’s 300 square mile area includes seven major rivers as well as countless lakes, wetlands, and brooks. Although Rhode Island may be the smallest state and the second most densely populated state in the union, a total of 110 river miles within this watershed were found to be eligible for this prestigious recognition and protection!Our MissionThe Stewardship Council was established in early 2019 with representatives from the twelve towns in the watershed, along with state agencies and other non-profit conservation organizations. The Council’s mission is to help preserve, protect and enhance the special environmental, cultural, and recreational values of the Wood-Pawcatuck Watershed and its Wild and Scenic Rivers and tributaries in Rhode Island and Connecticut for the benefit and enjoyment of present and future generations.
