Free Summer Canoe Programs for 2008, 2009, & 2010!
Mass Audubon and Housatonic Valley Association are announcing a series of free summer canoe programs on the Housatonic River. These trips are part of the Housatonic Environmental Literacy Program (HELP).
HELP is one of ten restoration projects within the Housatonic Watershed in Massachusetts awarded by Trustees from the Massachusetts Executive Office of Energy and Environmental Affairs and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service from an initial round of projects funded by the settlement with General Electric. The funding must be used to restore the natural resources and services that were impaired as a result of the chemical waste contamination.
Canoe trips during the week are approximately two hours long, and on Sunday they are three hours long. All necessary equipment is provided. Accommodations can be made for paddlers with special needs. All adult participants will receive a copy of Mass Audubon’s Paddlers Guide to New England. The trip is appropriate for children ages 5 and up. Please call 413-637-0320 to make a reservation as space is limited. Locations will be given when reservations are made. |
