Scenic Tour of the North and South Rivers with Local Town Managers
By Emily Pitman
Last Friday I had the opportunity to go out with the managers of the towns located on the North and South River. While it was initially rainy, the clouds cleared in time for Norwell Jim Boudreau, Duxbury Rene Reed, Scituate Patricia Vinchesi, and Marshfield Rocco Longo to accompany Sam, Sara and I on the tour. The boat ride was provided by Marshfield Harbormaster Mike DiMeo.
Our group included (top row, left to right) Mike DiMeo, Jim Boudreau, Sara Grady, Rene Reed, (bottom row, left to right) Samantha Woods, Patricia Vinchesi, and Rocco Longo.
Once on the water, we discussed various successful progressions and projects that have been completed within the individual towns, including the Greenscapes education initiative and Scituate water restrictions. The town managers also described various water issues that the individual towns are facing, and potentially how the members of the Watershed can help facilitate ways to solve the problems. Communication between the town managers and the North and South Rivers Watershed is critical in preserving the rivers and the surrounding area. I personally look forward to hearing about the continued successes in the towns and am excited for the next time that I will be able to discuss ways in which the Watershed Association can help engage the community!
