WATER CHESTNUT REMOVAL PROJECT
;)
Eradication efforts of water chestnuts, an invasive plant clogging the Mystic River and elsewhere in the Watershed have been ongoing for many years. Currently, MyRWA is aggressively combating Water Chestnuts and partnering with local environmental organizations and boat clubs including Groundwork Somerville, Friends of the Mystic River, Riverside Yacht Club, the Massachusetts Water Resources Authority, and others, and is participating in a multi-year project to control water chestnuts in the Mystic.
