The mission of the Council and Friends group is to restore, enhance, and preserve the physical, historical, and cultural integrity of the Blackstone River, its watershed, and its ecosystem. Through public advocacy, education, recreation, stewardship, and the promotion of the unique Blackstone Valley resource, they are dedicated to making the Blackstone River fishable and swimmable. All of the programs provide opportunities to volunteer, including cleanups, education, and work with local municipalities, to bring this great river and its surrounding watersheds back to its natural and majestic state and create recreational programs for the local residents to enjoy.
