SUMMARY:River Magic & Fairy Houses Along the Shore
DESCRIPTION:Fairies appreciate human kindness. Come build them fairy houses along the shore of the Green River from natural found objects. As we co-create beauty around us we’ll sneak in learning about the importance of a healthy riverine ecosystem through song and play. Join HooRWA and naturalist educator Arianna Alexsandra Collins on Tuesday\, September 1 from 4:30-5:30pm for this free whimsical family friendly program. \nRiver magic will take place along the Green River on the Linear Link Trail at Linear Park on Water Street (Mount Pleasant Playground) in Williamstown\, MA. There is a small parking lot at the Mount Pleasant Playground. If that is full you can park along the road across the street.  Please register at https://forms.gle/TYQfzG93QCormQb49 so we know how many fairy friends to expect. \nThis free program is made possible by a grant from the Berkshire Environmental Endowment Fund\, a fund of the Berkshire Taconic Community Foundation. \nDATE: Tuesday\, September 1\nTIME: 4:30 – 5:30 pm\nLOCATION: Linear Link Trail at Linear Park on Water Street (Mount Pleasant Playground)\, Williamstown\, MA \nREGISTER HERE

SUMMARY:Women's Water Walk: Stop the Constitution Pipeline
DESCRIPTION:On September 19\, 2026 the Women’s Water Walk will begin a two-week\, 113 mile prayer walk led by women through towns along the route of the proposed Constitution Pipeline in New York State.​​ \nThe Constitution Pipeline is a fracked gas mega pipeline proposed by the Oklahoma-based Williams Company\, which would run from northeast Pennsylvania to Schoharie County\, New York. Rejected in 2016 by New York State as a danger to our water\, the Constitution Pipeline project has returned to line the pockets of big corporations who want to overturn New York’s fracking ban. \nThe pipeline would cut through 125 miles of forests\, wetlands\, wild habitats and rural farm communities\, providing a corridor of power for AI data centers and deafening compressor stations that cause serious air pollution and acid rain. \nThe Women’s Water Walk\, which men are encouraged to join\, will begin outside of Damascus\, N.Y. and continue through towns along the proposed pipeline route. ​Our walk is rooted in prayer and positive action. We will sing as we walk and stop to make offerings at the many rivers\, lakes and waterways along our path. We will gather daily to discuss community solutions\, actions and legal frameworks to protect our land and water – focusing not only on what we seek to stop\, but also on what we are trying to build. \nWe invite teachers\, students\, farmers\, neighbors\, workers\, artists\, faith leaders\, elected representatives and all relations to walk with us. You can walk for a week\, a day\, or even an hour. One step at a time\, we are planting seeds of love\, action and change for the generations to come. \nDATE: September 19 – October 4\, 2026 \nLOCATION: See map for walking route \nREGISTER HERE \nFor more information\, contact info@womenswaterwalk.org
