    An Introduction to the Saugatuck River Watershed and the The Saugatuck River Watershed Partnership Bethel, Danbury, Easton, Fairfield, Newtown, Norwalk, Redding, Ridgefield, Weston, Westport and Wilton March 2006 Project Coordinator: Sally Harold, Conservation Manager The Nature Conservancy’s Saugatuck Forest Lands Project (203) 226-4991 x207 [email protected] Project Summary: Through a series of planning workshops and public meetings, and with the cooperation of municipal representatives, stakeholder groups, environmental experts and interested individuals, a conservation action plan has been drafted that presents strategies to mitigate threats to the health of the Saugatuck River system. “When we save a river, we save a major part of an ecosystem, and we save ourselves as well because of our dependence - physical, economic, spiritual - on the water and its community of life.” Tim Palmer, The Wild and Scenic Rivers of America 2 Special thanks to all who have helped to develop the Partnership. Thanks for your input, ideas, critiques, time, enthusiasm and encouragement. We’ve just begun this partnership and I look forward to continued collaboration and hard work in our pursuit to keep this watershed healthy. To the attendees of the planning workshops, to those who came to public meetings, to members of local stakeholder groups, volunteers, citizens and my colleagues at The Nature Conservancy who have helped with this effort, I thank you.
