Protecting the Merrimack: A Community Talk on Water Quality and Solutions

Curt and Jose will also highlight key gaps in current efforts, outline what’s needed next, and share how local residents can take action to help protect the river. Come early for light refreshments and conversation—everyone who cares about the Merrimack is welcome.
