SVT, OARS Featured on Channel 5 Newscast

On Thursday, August 7, 2020, SVT's Lisa Vernegaard and OARS' Alison Field-Juma were featured on the 5:30 p.m. news broadcast on WCVB-TV.

Reporter Josh Brogadir interviewed the two Executive Directors about the filamentous green algae that is spreading through local waterways. SVT and OARS both work in the 36-community region around the Sudbury, Assabet, and Concord Rivers. SVT focuses on protecting land in the region, while OARS focuses on protecting the rivers themselves.

Lisa and Alison explained that hotter summers are making the problem worse, and that there are steps we can all take to help save our rivers.
