Does your office or community group need a fun team-building opportunity this summer? Join us for some fun in the sun!
Come tackle the invasive water chestnut with the Mystic River Watershed Association (MyRWA)!
MyRWA has Community and Corporate Event opportunities for groups of up to 100 people this summer! Volunteers hand-pull water chestnut from canoes during this fun and rewarding stewardship event. A four hour event has tremendous impact, visibly clearing the river of the invasive weed. By sponsoring a corporate event, your company will participate in a major green initiative while providing a great team-building opportunity on the river for your employees. We have worked with many organizations and companies over the past six years, and supply all the materials and expertise necessary.
Are you interested in hosting a corporate water chestnut event? Please contact Veronique at waterchestnut@mysticriver.org or 781-316-3438.
