About
A Watershed Is More Than the River You Can See
Sassafras River is designed as an independent watershed-conservation resource inspired by the historical Sassafras River Association and its long-standing focus on clean water, restoration and community education.
Why the theme fits
The former Sassafras River Association was a nonprofit watershed organization dedicated to protecting and restoring the Sassafras River.
Why monitoring matters
Long-term water-quality data helps distinguish temporary changes from persistent problems.
Why community matters
Farmers, boaters, residents, towns and volunteers all affect the health of a shared watershed.
