Middleton Stream Team received a grant in 2009 to promote conservation and recreation on the Ipswich River. Most of the residents in the twenty one communities for which the Ipswich River provides drinking water take the resources of the river for granted. Through a promotion of sustainable recreation on the Ipswich River, we can educate and show those who travel how beautiful the river is, as well as how important it is to keep the river clean. As part of the project the group, working with local Eagle Scouts, will create and install six informational kiosks at existing canoe launches.
Middleton Stream Team
Our Purpose
to monitor, educate, advocate, and conduct projects for the present and future ecological health and responsible use of the town's lands and of its seven named streams, approximately eight miles of the Ipswich River, and associated wetlands. The scope includes advocacy, oversight, public service, education, conservation, remediation, and the development of stream and river sites for public use. It also includes fostering responsible stewardship of our waterways by present stakeholders such as canoeists, fishermen, land owners, businesses and town government; and in youth, their future guardians.
