THE EVERETT ADVOCATE–Friday, November 8, 2019 Page 11 Mystic River Watershed Association Environmental Education Program gets boost from Exelon Generation grant E xelon Generation announced a grant of $12,500 to support the locally focused real-world environmental education programs of the Mystic River Watershed Association (MyRWA) geared to area youngsters. “We want to educate and inspire our future stewards,” said MyRWA Education Director Marian Miller. “Far too often when I go into the classroom youth do not know about the local river that sits in their backyard. With our programs we introduce students to the watershed, help them understand it, think critically about issues facing it and explore possible solutions.” MyRWA currently runs education programs in 11 communities in the Mystic River watershed. Last year MyRWA reached 1,400 students with interactive and placedbased learning about the Mystic River watershed. The organization’s educational focus has been on both river herring – as the Mystic River is one of three rivers in the Commonwealth that sees more than a half million herring migrating every year – and stormwater pollution, which is a threat to urban rivers. The $12,500 grant from Exelon Generation will support MyRWA’s overall education efforts and the expansion of this program into Everett with a focus on STEM learning. “We are pleased to support this innovative STEM program that uses the Mystic River as a teaching tool for students across the region,” said Exelon’s Northeast Region General Manager, Archie Gleason. “Thank you to Exelon Generation for your generous financial support of our education efforts,” said MyRWA Executive Director Patrick Herron. “With so many exciting projects – from the return of the river herring to historically high numbers to the exciting new paths and parks being built around the river – the time is now for communities to engage with the Mystic River watershed.” Lawrence A.
