JRWA's mission is to preserve and restore the natural resources of the Jones River and the region. We are now focused on restoring native and migrating fish habitats throughout Jones River and its tributaries. This led us to work with the town to remove culverts on its conservation land along Pine Brook and we assisted in obtaining funding from NRCS to do that. Because the land is adjacent to the high school where the vocational department includes conservation & horticulture, as well as AP science, JRWA wrote a program to address science frameworks and helped implement a program of native species identification, water quality assessment, and GPS use. Jones River watershed hosts over a thousand acres of commercial cranberry bogs, which impact on the health of the river. Since the conservation land had out-of-production bogs, JRWA initiated a project to revive a small bog using organic methods as a way to encourage these methods in the area and to educate the Future Farmers of America.
