Happy holidays from our hardworking staff in Lowell and across the Northeast who work to protect clean water!

Forty years ago, the first wastewater training course was held by Maine's Joint Environmental Training Coordinating Committee (JETCC). Managed by NEIWPCC staff, JETCC provides high-quality instruction for clean water professionals throughout the state.

What're YOU looking at?

With bright red eyes, black-crowned night herons are easily recognizable. But their tendency to sit still waiting for prey makes them easy to miss. Keep an eye out for them on your next hike in a wetland (because they'll certainly have their eyes on you!)

The Youth and the Environment Program (YEP), based out of Lowell, MA, provided another season of paid internships in clean water. Students got to learn about the wastewater industry, attend field trips, and explore environmental careers.

Congrats to our newest YEP graduates!

#CleanWater #Interns

Four #NEIWPCC staff members had the opportunity to meet directly with @welch.senate.gov of #Vermont. They discussed implementation, education and outreach, and research projects that support the #LakeChamplain Basin Program's long-term management plan, Opportunities for Action.
