Friday, November 26, 2004 - Watertown TAB & Press

Watertown resident Dan Driscoll, senior planner at the Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation, was one of eight people honored by the Charles River Watershed Association for being an outstanding steward of the environment.

Driscoll was hailed for being the driving force behind the planning and management of the creation of the Upper Charles Reservation from Newton to the Museum of Science in Boston. CRWA's tribute to Driscoll was in honor of the expected completion of the paths by spring 2005.

In addition, Nancy Hammett of Watertown received CRWA's 2004 Volunteer Award. Hammett has worked as a volunteer coordinator of CRWA's water quality monitoring program for several years, tirelessly transporting water samples and organizing volunteers to make sure the 38-site program runs smoothly each month.
