NepRWA members, staff, Board of Directors, volunteers and supporters work to protect and restore the Neponset River, its tributaries and surrounding watershed lands for the benefit of present and future generations.

NepRWA accomplishes this mission through: 

  • Environmental monitoring, science, research and planning;
  • Outreach and education to the general public and targeted audiences;
  • Demonstration projects that highlight new and existing best practices; 
  • Political action at the local, state and federal levels;
  • On-the-ground cleanup, restoration and preservation projects; and
  • Advocacy and, when necessary, litigation.


NepRWA always strives to use a collaborative approach to carry out its mission but will employ legal action or other non-collaborative methods when necessary.

The Back River Watershed Association is a nonprofit organization dedicated to preserving, protecting and promoting the Back River Watershed. The Back River, which empties into Hingham Bay, offers excellent canoeing and kayaking and is home to many parks, reservations, about 150 species of birds and 31 species of fish. The river provides one the largest fish “runs” for herring and smelt, which live in the ocean but lay their eggs in fresh water, as well as for eel, which live in fresh water but lay their eggs in the ocean.
