Every year, the MRWC teaches 3,300 students about the importance of watersheds. Our River-Lab program is a model of environmental science education.

When the watershed is involved, MRWC promotes the interests of conservation and sustainable development.

Learning doesn’t stop when you leave the classroom. MRWC works with the whole community to become educated about the watershed we share.

Our Water Monitoring Data is collected from volunteers around Fairfield. Check out our Engage page to see how you can get involved.
