Our Fall Programs are rolling along throughout the watershed! Next events include the October 4th canoe/kayak trip of archeological sites along the Nemasket River... a day long training October 6th to help you navigate the sometimes tricky waters of coalitions and parnterships... an evening program October 15th on the many options for property owners interested in conservation... and two nature walks at the Burrage Pond Wildlife Management Area!
If you've already participated in one or more of our events, please take a few moments to tell us your opinion! We have an online survey up at our home page - you can report back after each event. The last section asks for your feedback on our winter and spring ideas!
Hope to see you soon! And check out the Flickr pool which includes photos shared by camera buffs taken all over the Taunton River Watershed!

Birding Trip September 13th
The first event of our fall schedule was a wonderful half-day birding trip with Mass Audubon's Wayne Petersen on Saturday, Sept. 13th! Check out a few photos of this trip at the Flickr photo pool for the Taunton River and our tributaries!
39 birders enjoyed visits to the Hockomock Swamp Wildlife Management Area and to the Assawompsett Ponds of Lakeville... highlights included the Yellow-Throated Vireos lingering late in the season at the Hock and the Bald Eagles of Assawompsett. Many thanks to Wayne, Kathleen Anderson and Nancy Yeatts who were our field leaders!
