Our Work
Our volunteers make possible the following activities in support
of the
PWA 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 ponds, river, and near-shore
marine 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, at public seminars and interpretive walks,
at our summer camp for children, and at our Beachcombers’ Rest
Nature Center at Pemaquid Beach.
PWA also organizes a Ponders Group for each of the major ponds
in our watershed to facilitate networking and information
sharing among those with pond-specific interests and concerns.
PWA
volunteers conduct courtesy boat inspections each summer to help
prevent the introduction of invasive aquatic plants to our watershed.
