Exeter River Local Advisory Committee

Description

The Exeter River Local Advisory Committee, known as ERLAC, was established in 1996 to oversee the development and implementation of a river management plan. Committee members are residents from watershed communities working to protect and maintain the river's natural character. ERLAC completed the Exeter River Corridor and Watershed Management Plan in 1999 and since that time has designed many public education and outreach programs to increase awareness of the natural resources in the watershed. Each May, in time for the annual migration of Alewives from the Atlantic Ocean to their spawning grounds in the Exeter River, ERLAC holds the Exeter River Alewife Festival, a day-long celebration of the river and its watershed. ERLAC meets monthly and committee members are needed from each of the ten watershed communities. For more information, please contact:
