The Pawtuxet River Authority & Watershed Council ( PRAWC )

The Pawutuxet River Authority & Watershed Council (PRAWC) is a non-profit agency created by the RI state legislature in 1972. We are continuely striving to improve the water and land quality of the entire Pawtuxet River system and render its’ waters fishable and swimmable. The PRA has cleaned hundreds of tons of debris from the Pawtuxet, built river access and trails, obtained funds to upgrade sewage treatment plants, and worked to preserve open space. Currently, the PRA is engaged in a major project to restore migratory shad and herring to the Pawtuxet River system.

Our mission: “To Protect and Improve the Pawtuxet River and It’s Watershed.”
