Скачать или смотреть Celebrating restoration of New England's Housatonic River from Source to Sound

Experience the Source to Sound paddle trip, a Housatonic River adventure to celebrate the beauty of New England's Housatonic River.

The adventure, coordinated by the Housatonic Valley Association and other groups, provides educational, historical and cultural programs along the way through Massachusetts and Connecticut.

The Source to Sound also celebrates the work that has made this river once again accessible to its residents. For more than 40 years, toxic chemicals seeped into the river, contaminating the water and sediment. The hazards reached riverbanks, floodplains, wildlife and even people.

The guardians for these natural resources settled with General Electric for $15 million, which has funded the restoration of these treasured resources. The money secured by the federal restoration program has given partners the voice and the tools they need to protect their river.
