Our Work
Our volunteers make possible the following activities in support
of the
MJWA mission:
Environmental Stewardship
•
Protection of areas of ecological and scenic value through a land
trust program involving the establishment and maintenance of easements
and preserves.
• Wildlife habitat monitoring and management projects.
• Water quality monitoring and remediation on the lakes, ponds,
river, streams, and wetlands environments within our watershed.
Educational programming aimed at increasing understanding and
appreciation of the natural environment and the land- and water-based
practices that promote sustainable use. Our educational efforts
take place in schools, and at public seminars and interpretive
walks.
MJWA also facilitates communication and technical transfer for of the pond
owners
in our watershed to network and share information
regarding pond-specific interests and concerns.
MJWA
volunteers conduct courtesy boat inspections each summer to help
prevent the introduction of invasive aquatic plants to our watershed.
Restoration Projects
• MJWA conducts a wide variety of environmental restoration
projects. A particular area of interest is stream restoration
to correct streambank erosion problems, debris removal, etc.
Other projects include wetlands restoration, invasive/exotic plant
removal and treatment, and grasslands restoration.
