After four decades of disappointing No’s, I led the “Housatonic Wild and Scenic River Act” in the House and Chris Murphy led in the Senate, and in ‘22 we finally got it passed!
Designation as a Wild and Scenic river is our nation’s strongest form of protection for free-flowing rivers and streams. This effort would not have been possible without the advocacy and dedication of the community and now this area will be enjoyed by generations to come.
