The relatively short Norwalk River has great aesthetic, historic, cultural, recreational, economic, and environmental significance in its seven Fairfield and Westchester County watershed towns. The river impacts our lives and livelihoods, our activities, and assets. Its health ensures the health of its communities.

The Norwalk River Watershed Association is actively working to improve the health of this river. NRWA invites you to support its projects, programs, and actions to improve the watershed for the benefit of present and future generations.
