The Fort River Watershed Association (FoRWA) is a Tributary affiliate of the Connecticut River Conservancy (CRC), a local non-profit organization advocating for the Connecticut River watershed since 1952. 

As a tributary of the Connecticut River, all that happens in the Fort River flows directly down river into the Connecticut. 

The work being done by the FoRWA to protect and preserve the Fort River watershed has great benefits for the health of the Connecticut River watershed – an irreplaceable resource that CRC is committed to protecting and preserving for generations to come. 

The working partnership between FoRWA and CRC makes us both more effective advocates and river caretakers.  Your support of this work makes us both better at doing what we love – taking care of our local rivers.
