In 2019, we celebrate the 20 year anniversary of the Sudbury, Assabet and Concord Wild and Scenic Rivers. Stay tuned for specific celebration events this year.
Some of our celebrations were part of the 2018 anniversary celebration. 2018 was a very special year. On October 2, 1968, President Lyndon Johnson signed the Wild & Scenic Rivers Act to preserve certain rivers with outstanding natural, cultural, and recreational values in a free-flowing condition for the enjoyment of present and future generations. Thanks to the Wild and Scenic Act,the Sudbury, Assabet and Concord Rivers have been protected for future generations. Special celebrations happened all year long.
The SuAsCo is 20 years old in 2019! Celebrations that happened in 2018:
