CRCPT (The Connecticut River Committee for the Public Trust) is a Chester-based group focused on river preservation through application of the legal concept of the river as a "public trust." They're doing a lot of good work both "behind the scenes" and by raising public awareness. Unfortunately, this site works poorly or not at all on a Macintosh. If you're a Mac user, it would still be worthwhile to send an email to Jay McKay and have him put you on his mailing list so you can keep up to date on the latest news.
