| Friends of the Moshassuck was founded in 1998. The lower part of the river really needed help. We talked to neighbors, and then found some partners and funders. The EPA and Save the Bay helped us start restoration work along the river at Collyer Field in Providence, and this site now has an active tree planting program. We have planted 36 trees so far! A canoe launch project is also developing on Canada Pond along the Moshassuck's largest named tributary, the West River. |  | Friends of the Moshassuck has a vision of a greenway linking the sights we have found to restore with those already protected sights in the Moshassuck watershed. The Nature Consevancy has preserved the Limerock headwaters in Lincoln and of course the Rhode Island DEM has responsibility for the lovely Olney Pond tributary at Lincoln Woods. FOTM has also developed partnerships with the National Park Service, Groundwork Providence, The Woodlawn Neighborhood Association (Pawtucket), the Summit Neighborhood Association (Providence),as well as Youthbuild, the City of Pawtucket, URI's Watershed Watch, the Woonasquatucket Watershed Council and the Rhode Island Rivers Council.
In March 2006 the Friends of the Moshassuck was designated the official Watershed Council for the Moshassuck and it's tributary the West River by the Rhode Island Rivers Council. | | |
