Dear fellow Hanoverians:<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Have you heard about the young Hanover resident who is
\nplanning to navigate all 72 miles of the Wampanoag Canoe passage (which
\nincludes our North River) this weekend?  Quite an amazing feat!  Here’s
\na letter from him, as reprinted by request from the good folks at the North and
\nSouth Rivers Watershed Association:<\/p>\n

The
\nNorth River has always meant a lot to me. As a kid growing up on the Third
\nHerring Brook, I loved swimming in the river, catching minnows and crayfish,
\nand going on boating expeditions either to the Spit or upriver towards the
\nHanover canoe launch with my family. As I grew older, the river continued to be
\na big part of my life.  My grandma gave me a Poke boat, enabling solo
\nexpeditions, and as I got even older I began to take part in NSRWA’s
\nannual Great River Race with a neighbor.<\/span><\/p>\n

This
\npast summer I got to know a lot more about the North and South Rivers Watershed
\nAssociation (http:\/\/nsrwa.org\/ ) through my
\nexperience as a leader of River Adventures Camp, as an intern helping monitor
\nflows in the Third Herring Brook to see how it was affected by drinking water
\nwithdrawals, and educating kids at local events and through the kayak camp.
\n I realized last summer that for my entire childhood, NSRWA had been
\nworking to create a community of those who love the rivers, to make sure that
\nthe rivers stay clean, and to maintain the wildness and beauty of the watershed
\nfor those living in nearby South Shore suburbs.<\/span><\/p>\n

Now,
\nhaving realized how important the NSRWA is, I plan on canoeing the Wampanoag
\nCanoe Passage, an historic route of the Wampanoag tribe that connects the North
\nand Taunton Rivers and Massachusetts and Narragansett Bays. I hope that my
\njourney will raise both awareness of our historic waterways and funds to help
\npreserve them.<\/span><\/p>\n

Throughout
\nmy experience with the river, the North and South River Watershed Association
\nhas been there along with me, protecting what I love and teaching me how to
\nkeep and restore it for the generations that come after me.  Now I hope to
\ngive back by undertaking this trip.  If you have benefited from the North River,
\nnow is the time for you to give back too. Donations can be made by check or online

Thank
\nyou for your consideration.<\/span><\/p>\n

Sincerely,& nbsp;
