“The efforts to pass the legislation began in 2009 after Tsongas approached the NRWA, according to Ainsley Campbell. Knowing the Assabet, Sudbury and Concord rivers are designated as part of the National Wild and Scenic Rivers System, Tsongas wanted to know if those who work to protect the Nashua River were interested in pursuing the national protection status, as well. The answer was yes, Ainsley Campbell said. Eight communities -- Lancaster, Harvard, Shirley, Ayer, Groton, Dunstable, Pepperell, Townsend -- endorsed the legislation.” – more coverage of yesterday’s event celebrating the passage of the Nashua River Wild and Scenic River Study Act in today’s The Sun News.
