Mission and Vision
The Corsica River Conservancy (CRC) works to develop and maintain a constituency to restore and preserve the Corsica River and its surrounding lands through direct action, partnerships, and enhanced environmental awareness.
A Dedicated Volunteer Force
The organization thrives on the passion and commitment of its volunteers. The Board of Directors generously donates their time, expertise, and knowledge to further the mission of restoring and preserving the beautiful Corsica River. Their efforts are amplified through strategic collaborations with local town and county authorities, as well as environmental non-profit organizations.
Restoration and Preservation
Our volunteers are involved in a range of hands-on activities including tree and buffer plantings, fish spawn monitoring, monitoring and maintaining underwater grasses, bacterial testing and shoreline restoration. Many of these activities are carried out in conjunction with scientists and other professionals from the Department of Natural Resources and other state agencies or with ShoreRivers. CRC has been a principal member of the project team implementing the Corsica restoration strategy and plan for many years.
Community Engagement
Beyond conservation efforts, the organization actively engages the community through various events and initiatives. CRC spearheads and participates in activities such as trash cleanups, Centreville Day celebrations, and the annual Corsica River Day. These events not only raise awareness about the importance of environmental stewardship but also foster a sense of community pride and involvement in preserving the region’s natural heritage. By harnessing the power of volunteerism and fostering strong partnerships, this dedicated organization ensures that the Corsica River remains a vibrant and thriving ecosystem for generations to come.
