Join the Salmon Falls Success Safari

Ready for an adventure in downtown Somersworth, NH and Berwick, ME? Join us for the Salmon Falls Success Safari, a guided, walking tour where you’ll explore recent efforts to protect your drinking water source – the Salmon Falls River.

It’s all about exploring the success stories of our source water collaborative and sharing your experiences to inform the Salmon Falls River Watershed Management Plan. The Salmon Falls Watershed Collaborative coordinates long-term source water protection efforts among planning commissions, land trusts, watershed associations, non-profits, water systems, and town, state and federal agencies in New Hampshire and Maine.
