Boston friends, please snap a photo the next time you see flooding & submit it to this crowd-sourced database that will help the City develop plans to address flooding impacts ⛈️☔ 🌈

Yesterday in Waltham, CRWA team members Max & Alfredo discovered a spontaneous wetland formed at the mouth of a stormwater outfall! While mostly covered in invasive purple-blue strafe, a beautiful patch of native swamp blue strip is thriving. #Nature's resilience is amazing! 🌿

It was a pleasure meeting with Watertown Yacht Club and @CRIBoston to discuss our “Cut the Crap” campaign to clean up the Charles. It's time to eliminate sewage discharge into the Charles River. 💩

Happy #BlackHistoryMonth! The Environmental Justice movement is rooted in Black history. Black leaders, have shaped today’s environmental movement—from pioneers like Dr. Robert Bullard to contemporary voices like Colette Pichon Battle & Dr. Ayana Elizabeth Johnson. (1/3)

Racial justice and climate justice are inseparable. To create a just, resilient future, we must center the voices of communities most affected by environmental racism, ensuring everyone has equal access to clean air, water, land, and opportunity. (2/3)
