The Westfield River Watershed is widely recognized as one of the highest priorities for biodiversity conservation in Southern New England and one of the healthiest tributaries to the Connecticut River. The watershed includes both urban and rural communities and provides scenic, historic, and natural resources as well as many opportunities for outdoor recreation.
