The Wild & Scenic Westfield River Committee’s mission is...
”to preserve, protect and enhance the special qualities and outstanding resources of the Westfield River Watershed in concert with local communities."
The Westfield River was first designated a National Wild and Scenic River in 1993. Over seventy-eight miles of the Westfield River are now officially considered Wild and Scenic. As local community members and river stewards, we work to keep the river clean and sparkling. We promote respectful enjoyment of the watershed while protecting the river and keeping the ecosystem healthy. We consider ourselves a voice for the river.
Local residents and communities are very important to this role. We work with community members, municipal officials, conservation organizations, federal and state agencies to:
- Maintain clean water and a healthy river corridor
- Protect native species and improve passage for fish and wildlife
- Protect and restore historic sites and natural habitats along the river
- Develop scientific data about stream and wildlife health
