• Annual Meeting October 16, 2012. Four Rivers Charter School cafeteria. 248 Colrain Rd, Greenfield, MA
  Big Voices from Tiny Bodies - Come hear DRWA's Mike Cole tell us about eight years of studying the
  macroinvertebrate life in the Deerfield River watershed's rivers and streams. During this time, DRWA has
  examined macroinvertebrates as indicators of the impacts of dam operations along the Deerfield River and of the
  effects of Tropical Storm Irene. DRWA has also studied macroinvertebrate communities in our smallest of
  streams - called headwaters - that are too often ignored in other assessments of watershed health. In addition to
  these studies, DRWA has been monitoring the health of each of the watershed's major tributaries since 2005,
  including the Green, South, and North rivers. Come hear what the "bugs are telling us" about our watershed!
