Clean Charles Convening

  • The Cabral Center at Northeastern University 40 Leon Street Boston, Massachusetts, 02115 United States (map)

Swimming in the Charles River, once a distant fantasy, has become a realistic possibility in recent years. Join the inaugural Clean Charles Convening to hear from the scientists, resource managers, and advocates working to understand, protect, and improve the Charles River ecosystem for a conversation about what it would take to go from one or two swim events per year to bringing beaches back to the Lower Charles River.
