Who We Are

Central to our mission is collaboration with local and state agencies, particularly in gathering and utilizing scientific data to tackle environmental challenges like stormwater runoff. By employing data-driven strategies, the Association plans and implements projects that help mitigate the impacts of stormwater, which can carry harmful pollutants into the lakes and damage fragile ecosystems. Visit our Plan & Strategic Mission page to learn more about our process and goals.

The Association is also a strong advocate for outreach and education. We publish and distribute resources to help residents and landowners make environmentally conscious decisions, particularly in shoreline buffering, stormwater management, and septic system maintenance. These efforts help residents and visitors understand and reduce their impact on the watershed.

Additionally, the Wentworth Watershed Association plays a crucial role in land conservation. The organization currently owns or holds conservation easements on 485 acres of environmentally sensitive land, with a continued commitment to protecting more land as opportunities arise. By preserving these areas, we are safeguarding essential wildlife habitats and natural resources while maintaining the watershed’s ecological balance. See our Preserves & Conservation Areas page to learn more about the areas we steward.
