From its origins in the Berkshire Hills in Western Massachusetts, the Westfield River links together historic villages, prime farmlands, pristine wilderness areas, and waterfalls and gorges of remarkable quality. In recognition of these "outstandingly remarkable" resources, over 78 miles of the Westfield River’s headwater tributaries and three major branches are designated as a National Wild & Scenic River.
Through this locally-initiated designation, community members, municipal officials, conservation organizations, federal and state agencies have come together to manage and protect this national treasure. Members of the Westfield River Wild & Scenic Advisory Committee (WRWSAC) lend their eyes, ears and voices for the river. Serving as liaisons to their respective communities and organizations, members raise awareness about the Westfield River and its resources, and advocate for their preservation and protection.
