Who We Are

The Woonasquatucket River Watershed Council (WRWC) sparks economic development through our work restoring the Woonasquatucket River and communities around it, and by enhancing, extending and bringing people to the Woonasquatucket River Greenway.

The WRWC is a successful model of community revitalization that helps people discover this local American Heritage River and its natural resources, channeling life and economic development into neighborhoods.

Today, we can see results, but there’s so much more to do. Your support will help ensure that the Woonasquatucket continues to be a source of fun, healthy communities, relaxation, opportunity and vibrant places for all.

Mission Statement

The Woonasquatucket River Watershed Council, a non-profit organization, encourages, supports, and promotes the restoration and preservation of the nationally recognized Woonasquatucket River Watershed as an environmental, recreational, cultural, and economic asset of Rhode Island.
