The Ipswich River Watershed Association (IRWA)’s mission is to protect and restore the Ipswich River and its watershed, now and for future generations. Through our restoration efforts, we look backwards in time to undo past decisions which now pose a detriment to watershed health, like removing dams and undersized stream crossings. Through our protection efforts, we look forward in time and ensure that the decisions we make today, related to water usage and conservation, will keep our river healthy and resilient. Through our engagement efforts, we empower watershed residents to participate in our work and enjoy the river. Ultimately, our goal is to ensure that there is enough clean, plentiful water to support the river’s essential functions, including healthy fisheries and natural habitats, sustainable drinking water, recreational opportunities, and scenic values.
