Earth Day 2012
OARS collaborated with Musketaquid for the annual Earth Day Parade through downtown Concord on Saturday April 28. It was a great parade! See our photos from the event.

Draft Sustainable Water Management Initiative (SWMI):
OARS commented on the state’s draft Sustainable Water Management Initiative, a critical (and overdue) state policy now being finalized. See OARS’ comments and those of the Massachusetts Rivers Alliance. SWMI is the Massachusetts state environmental agencies’ multi-stakeholder process, begun in January 2010, to improve the way the state manages its water allocations. See the Executive Office of Energy and Environmental Affairs SWMI webpage.
