The Friends of the Assabet River NWR invites you to join us for an evening program on the topic of the OARS River Report Card led by OARS Executive Director Alison Field-Juma. OARS launched the first-ever River Health Report Card for the Assabet, Sudbury and Concord Rivers in June. Alison will explain how the Assabet River got the grades it did — from an A to a D! She will then lead a discussion on what we can do to make our river more accessible and protect it in these changing times. You can see the report card at: ecoreportcard.org.
Alison Field-Juma joined OARS as Policy Director in June 2005 and became Executive Director in 2010. Alison is Vice-Chair of the Sudbury, Assabet and Concord Wild & Scenic River Stewardship Council, Chair of the Aquatic Invasives Management Subcommittee of the SuAsCo Cooperative Invasive Species Management Area (CISMA) and past CISMA chair, a member of the 495/MetroWest Partnership's Water Resources Committee and represents OARS on other state and regional advisory boards.
