The French River Connection

The French River Connection is a non-profit organization in central Massachusetts. Our VISION is for the French River and its shoreline to become a resource that is used, enjoyed, and treasured by residents and visitors to the French River region. The river’s natural and cultural heritage will be appreciated and protected, recreational activities and gatherings along the river will be encouraged, and the economic benefits of a healthy, active riverfront will be realized.

French River Park Funding Received

The French River Connection has received $30,000 from the Webster Redevelopment Authority to begin work on French River Park. Added to a previous donation, we now have $39,000 for the project. Over the last year, we have pretty much killed off the invasive knotweed on the property, and have been fortunate to receive consulting services from Bacon Engineering and the Green Valley Institute to do some conceptual planning. And, of course, we are very grateful to the owner for agreeing to a 15 year lease on the property.
