Quinnipiac River featured in New Haven Magazine

New Haven Magazine’s May edition featured the Quinnipiac River in an eight page article “Exploring the Quinnipiac River Watershed” by Melissa Nicefaro and photographs by Ian Christmann.

“A $20,000 grant from the Quinnipiac River Fund will present many opportunities to access and explore the river this summer… For 20 years, the fund has supported cleanup efforts and research on the Quinnipiac River. Alderman says $1 million went into the foundation with the stipulation that the income from it would be used to clean up the river. The fund gifts about $110,000 a year to organizations such as the QRWA and provides grants for projects that will enhance the river.

“’It’s one thing to have scientists and researchers looking at what the pollution is, but it’s another thing to get people to care about this river,’ says the Community Foundation’s director of grants and scholarships, Sarah Fabish.”
