Our community programs have been developed to educate and engage our local citizens in the exploration of Mill River. You will have an opportunity to explore the work of a meandering river; identify and observe adaptations of plants and animals in the many Mill River habitats; and understand the complex relationships among living and nonliving things in the Mill River basin ecosystem. You will be led by an experienced guide from MRWC's River-Lab Program, which has served the community for over 50 years.
