Protecting the Ten Mile River and its Watershed
Friends of the Ten Mile River Watershed are a registered non-profit organization. We work to protect and preserve our river
About the Ten Mile River
The Ten Mile River is 22 miles long and drains an area of 54 square miles in Massachusetts and Rhode Island. It starts at Savage Pond in Plainville, flows through North Attleboro, Attleboro, Seekonk, Pawtucket and flows into the Seekonk River of Narragansett Bay in East Providence. The Friends are the voice of the river in Massachusetts and are proud members of the Massachusetts Rivers Alliance. We protect our watershed through action, advocacy and education. We lead the public on guided tours, perform many cleanups a year, and advocate for wetland protection, trail development, drought management, and dam removal and management. We have built partnerships with other organizations in the Attleboro area to further protect our natural resources. Please visit out Facebook page to stay up to date on events and projects.
About the Friends
Originally, the Friends were known as the Ten Mile River Watershed Alliance. The TMRWA worked hard in the watershed from 1990 until 2003 when they went dormant. In 2018, members of TMRWA reformed as Friends of the Ten Mile River Watershed in response to needs that were not being met in Massachusetts.
