The Voice of the Merrimack Comes to Newburyport

by Ari Herzog on April 2, 2009

If you care about the blue-green waters of the Merrimack River, the Merrimack River Watershed Council is pleased to sponsor and the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Center’s Parker River National Wildlife Refuge is pleased to host the 3rd annual State of the Merrimack address.

While speakers are being finalized, please mark your calendars to arrive at the refuge’s visitor center at 6 Plum Island Turnpike in Newburyport on Saturday, April 25 at 11 a.m.

For more details and to RSVP, you may visit the MRWC’s website here.

Simultaneously occurring at the visitor center will be a scavenger hunt for children and their families.

Also occuring on the 25th, the Massachusetts Audubon Society’s Joppa Flats Education Center across the street offers a watercolor illustration workshop in the afternoon; and the 4th annual Newburyport Literary Festival occurs all day.

Additionally, the Route 1 traffic circle holds its annual fundraiser in the front parking lot of Kelly Hardware; and Jewett Farms Studio sponsors an organic brunch and dinner at select locations in the city.

Details on these and other events on the calendar.
