About the Cornwall and area watershed group

---

 The Cornwall & Area Watershed Group is a community-based group whose goal is to enhance the water quality and health of our local waterways, to restore and protect wildlife habitats, and to improve active living through increased recreational opportunities by involving the community residents, farmers, landowners, and government in collaborative watershed planning and active support for environmental stewardship. 

 The Cornwall and Area Watershed Group has been active since February 2009. It was founded by a group of Cornwall residents that wanted to play an active role in the preservation and revitalization of our watershed.
