Mohawk River Watershed in NYS

The Mohawk River Watershed is the largest tributary to the Hudson River

         Incorporated on November 9th, 2005 by individuals with a common vision for protecting the rich ecological and cultural diversity within the Mohawk River watershed, the Mohawk River Research Center, Inc. (MRRC) was formed for scientific, education, and charitable purposes, with the intent to promote research, preservation, conservation, and restoration in the Mohawk River watershed.

MRRC will carry out its mission by:

  • Conducting and sponsoring research projects in natural and human history pertaining to the Mohawk River watershed
  • Conducting educational programs in river ecology, water quality monitoring, archeology, and native american history
  • Providing a collection of scientific and historic literature pertaining to the Mohawk River
  • Coordinate meetings on the environment and heritage of the Mohawk River

In general we hope we can acquaint the public on the unique resources, past and present, of the Mohawk River watershed, and foster a greater public awareness, understanding, and appreciation of this exceptional waterbody.

We hope you will join us in our efforts.
