Working together, from Worcester to Pawtucket, on watershed-wide priorities.
We’re working to ensure a healthier and more resilient Blackstone River Watershed by addressing our industrial past, ongoing urbanization, and the impacts of climate change.
The Blackstone Collaborative is a network of nonprofits, universities, businesses, and others who understand that a healthy watershed is vital to support the ecology, economy, and culture of the region.
48 miles. Over 40 municipalities and tribes. Two states. One watershed. Prioritized.

“[The Collaborative] has become more and more of… a forum for the convergence of information, events, projects, and people. It's an amazing networking vehicle for the whole valley. And the fact that it crosses state lines is sort of unusual and cumbersome but wonderful.”
- Dr. David Tapscott, Uxbridge Board of Health and MVP 2.0 Liaison
