Great Turnout for our Squamscott River Paddle on October 19th

 As part of Exeter’s 375th Anniversary, the Exeter Squamscott Local Advisory Committee and Exeter Conservation Commission hosted a group paddle along the Squamscott River.  

Lead by Carlos Guindon from the Exeter Conservation Commission a group of about 15 individuals paddled from downtown Exeter to the oxbow just north of Route 101 on this gorgeous fall day.  

Along the way we talked about water quality of our rivers and Great Bay and the impact of stormwater pollution on water quality, the future upgrades needed to the wastewater treatment facility, salt marsh ecology and invasive plants and enjoyed the beauty and wildlife along the way.

A huge thank you to all involved for making it a fun way to spend this gorgeous Saturday!
