The Partnership is a unique, voluntary, public-private partnership to restore coastal and freshwater wetlands that have been degraded by fill, pollution, or changes in water flow. The Partnership also includes non-profit organizations and academia. The Partnership now has grown to encompass Southeastern Massachusetts as well as Greater Boston. Introductory programs are being planned for other areas of the state.
All corporations doing business in Massachusetts are welcome.
Last month in Washington, DC, the National Corporate Wetlands Restoration Partnership was inaugurated by Gillette, the National Association of Manufacturers, and the federal office of Coastal America. This event will introduce local companies to the Corporate Wetlands Restoration Partnership, and to inform them of opportunities to partner with state and federal agencies and support communities in restoring valuable wetland resources of the region. CWRP is focusing on Southeastern Massachusetts as part of Environmental Affairs Secretary Robert Durand's Community Preservation Initiative to assist this high-growth area.
