River Portraits
The Charles
River Basin and its parklands are among the most beautiful public
places in eastern Massachusetts, but time and neglect have taken their
toll. The Conservancy' goal is to revitalize the parklands into vibrant
recreational areas. Increasing public awareness of the parklands' plight
and soliciting community involvement to refurbish them will help us reclaim
this urban treasure. That's why we'd like your help in creating a series
of "River Portraits."
By sharing your fondest recollections
of time spent along the Charles, you'll help us renew the spirit of the
river and the lands that surround it.

River in the Arts—appearing
in books, movies, poetry and songs.
