from the Connecticut River
Watershed Council …
Do you care about your
rivers? The Connecticut River Watershed Council and Art for Water is creating a
“river of words” to draw attention to five major hydro-operations from Turners
Falls, MA to above Hanover, NH. This public participation, community art
project will tell a thousand stories to improve the ecological health and
recreational opportunities of the Connecticut River. Come add your voice at the presentation given at the Jones
Library, 43 Amity Street, Amherst on Tuesday, December 8 at 7:00 PM in the
Woodbury Room.
“We are working together
to bring a public opinion art installation to the State and Federal government,”
says Andrew Fisk, Executive Director of the Connecticut River Watershed
Council. The government is in the process of making decisions about how these
dams will operate over the next 30-40 years. “You have a unique opportunity to
influence how 200 miles of the Connecticut River and its tributaries from
Montague, MA to north of Hanover, NH will be managed, restored and improved”—
for all who live here.
Fisk and Christine
Destrempes, founder and Director of Art for Water, will speak and then engage
you in this interactive art project at the Jones Library on Tuesday, December 8
at 7:00 PM. “We are building an
inspiring and influential exhibit that is made up of your stories and
aspirations for our rivers. It’s called The
Power of Water/The Power of Words because our voices do have power to
influence positive change.” Come add your voice!
