Working together, from Worcester to Pawtucket, on watershed-wide priorities.

We’re working to ensure a healthier and more resilient Blackstone River Watershed by addressing our industrial past, ongoing urbanization, and the impacts of climate change.

 

The Blackstone Collaborative is a network of nonprofits, universities, businesses, and others who understand that a healthy watershed is vital to support the ecology, economy, and culture of the region.

48 miles. Over 40 municipalities and tribes. Two states. One watershed. Prioritized.
