Ausable River Association to protect and enhance the natural and cultural resources of the Ausable River Watershed. ASRA a cooperative organization that brings together landowners, town governments, other non-profit organizations, and State and Federal Agencies to accomplish its mission.
Ongoig projects from invasive species, i.e. Rock Snot (Didymo), erosion issues found from the East Branch to the West Branch i.e. River Mead Project, and stabilization and re-establishment of the wildlife environments i.e. Cascade Lakes project. Since nature and man are always changing the projects never really seem to be completed, but we have reached some of our goals. The future of our efforts all reflect on how we maintain and preserve our watershed. Slide Show of Past events
