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.

2010 Water Quality Monitoring Campaign Underway

On March 6, the French River Connection began its sixth water quality monitoring campaign on the French River and its tributaries. We visit 15 sites once per month from March through November. This year we started with young volunteers who work with the US Army Corps of Engineers. Shown using the TROLL 9500 at Clara Barton Road are Oxford residents Nicole Giles and Adam Carrier.
