The BRWA has spoken in opposition to the location of the proposed Hingham Senior Center at Bare Cove Park. This proposed location is in the ACEC, which is a protected area environmentally. There are better locations in Hingham for the new Senior Center.

Continuing to ensure the natural heritage of the Back River Watershed is understood, respected and enjoyed, Linda DiAngelo is the current President of the BWRA. A student, and then friend, of Mary Toomey, Linda is a lifelong resident of Weymouth.
It all started when one person saw something that needed to be done, formed partnerships and did it. The Tale of Two Marys is a shining example of how people in the community can work together and partner with groups to make great stuff happen!
Quite simply our mission is to Preserve, Protect and Promote all the greatness of the natural heritage of the Back River Watershed. Stepping in to ensure the legacy of the two Marys continue, we work to ensure the natural heritage of the Back River remains.


We recently raised money to ensure the publication of the book, "The Ecology of the Back River" and working on educational videos about the watershed and the herring run. Additionally, we have recurring expenses such as filing fees and hosting fees. We sure could use your help with these expenses!
