Give Today to Take Care of Our Rivers
Our Goal is a Clean, Healthy, Resilient Winooski Watershed
Founded in 1998, Friends of the Winooski River is a non-profit organization dedicated to the restoration and protection of the Winooski River and its watershed. We hope to create a community of stewards working to improve watershed health by reducing pollution, improving habitat, increasing river stability, and encouraging the sustainable enjoyment of our river.
Every year, Friends -- volunteers and donors -- plant thousands of native trees and shrubs, remove tons of trash, collect hundreds of water samples, and improve habitat throughout our watershed.
