Mid-Season Water Chestnut Removal Update

Thanks to 2025 funding, CRWA is collaborating with more groups than ever to help manage invasive species in our watershed. Two months into the invasive removal season, and our canoe-based efforts to remove water chestnut, focused on Red Wing Bay in Needham/Dover, have been extremely successful. So far, we’ve removed 35,297 pounds of invasive water chestnuts from the Charles River (1,680 baskets) thanks to the help of our incredible volunteers!

But our work isn’t over yet! Sign up today to join us on August 11 or August 18.

If you are part of a community group, local club, Scout troop, or non-profit organization, or have an interest, please contact Fieldwork Coordinator Mary Lynch (mlynch@crwa.org) to schedule an event.
