The Nashua River serves as the focal point of an investigation of the treatment of and care for natural resources. A reading of A River Rand Wild: An Environmental History by Lynne Cherry, launches the study and class members consider how groups and events impacted the river. Guided by the Project Citizen book, groups identify existing policies, develop an action plan, and draft a persuasive letter to protest pollution of the Nashua River.
