2011: Eightmile River Watershed

The Eightmile River Watershed is a relatively undeveloped region in south central, Connecticut with over 150 miles of rivers and streams. It is part of the Connecticut River watershed, entering the river through Hamburg Cove.  As part of the study to be recognized as a national “Wild and Scenic Designation,” a completed management study was prepared by students in Environmental Geochemistry to help to ensure that the ecosystem is protected.
