Regional Tree Planting and Protection Plan
Prepared by Corcoran Environmental Consulting, LLC for the Charles River Watershed Association and Charles River Climate Compact
The Charles River Watershed
Towns of the Charles River Watershed and Subregions. Watershed boundaries were provided by the Charles River Watershed Association, and the river was taken from MassGIS hydrography data supplemented with data from CRWA.
The Charles River watershed covers over 198,000 acres of land around metro Boston and includes 35 towns.
These towns are diverse, ranging from some of the most densely populated in New England to rural, heavily forested municipalities. To cover the diversity of towns in the watershed and investigate the unique challenges each faces, these towns were grouped into subregions through a combination of town characteristics like population density, drainage from tributaries, and infrastructure like dams.
