I first championed the Wood-Pawcatuck Watershed Protection Act in 2010. Now, with the help of @RepJoeCourtney and @DavidCicilline, this legislation to add important federal protections for these #SouthCounty rivers has passed the House and will soon become law.

[Wood-Pawcatuck Wild & Scenic Rivers @WpWildRivers]

Wild & Scenic Act takes another leap....US House overwhelmingly passed the bill 363 - 62. This builds on last week's passing vote of 92-8 by the US Senate. One more step to become law! Many thanks to our delegation of Representatives.

Wood duck seen on the Wood River in Hope Valley today. One of the many reasons to protect these awesome rivers!
