This Year's Tide Calendar is in!
Taunton River Watershed Aliance calendars would make a great gift for Taunton Riverboat enthusiasts, fishermen/women, or just anyone who loves the environment. Get yours today!
Calendars are available to print-on-demand. The print-on-demand calendars can be printed from any month of the year with the tide data from the Taunton River or any other of the 3,500 NOAA tide stations. Or, if you like to write appointments onto your calendar, you can order a calendar printed without the tide data. People purchasing the calendar can even customize their calendar with their own photographs. Half the proceeds from the online $19.95 purchase price goes directly to the TRWA to support its ongoing mission protecting and restoring the Taunton River watershed, its tributaries, wetlands, floodplains, river corridors and wildlife.
2023 commemorates 35 years that the TRWA has been a voice for the river, an advocate for environmental protection, sustainable development and responsible stewardship of our precious water resources. We are an Alliance of concerned residents, businesses, and organizations united to restore and properly manage water and related natural resources within the Taunton River Watershed. Your purchase of our calendar helps to support our work. Thank you!
The calendar also features the photographic work of: Kathie Wing and Jennifer O’Keefe.

Historical Tidbit:
School Recess
"Students today would find it difficult to understand one of the policies stated in the 1868 town report, '...fifteen minute recess each half day for each scholar. In no case shall boys and girls have their recess at the same time.' "
From: The History of Raynham, Patrice White

Straw, with its light color, reflects light to your plants and helps to keep soil temperature steady… while of course doing the main job of a mulch–conserving moisture.
Decorate for the season, then use to protect your plants!
Come pick some up today!

Fight Climate Change & Live Better by Eating
Locally Sourced Foods!
Local Foods Are Fresher and Taste Better:
Fresher is more flavorful and more nutritious than food from farther away & uses less fossil fuels to get to you. Enjoying foods in peak season when they are the most abundant, means they are more affordable.
Local Foods Help to Preserve Farmland and Green Space: Purchasing locally grown helps maintain and preserve the green space and farmland in our local communities, providing for cleaner air and water.
Local Foods Support the Local Economy & Community: Buying from local farmers and restaurants keeps your money close to home. This builds the economy in your community. Since food travels through fewer hands, more of your money spent actually gets to those who grew it. Knowing where your food is from unites you to those who grew and raised it. A strong local economy is better for the earth & our health.
Our Climate Can-Do Articles from Jacquie focus on life changes that we can make which will help mitigate the environmental changes of our climate emergency. Our goal is to keep the Earth's temperature from rising 1.5 degrees C to lessen the sea rise. There are things we can do.

Yes, You Can!
You can design your own life, you can change those habits that are holding you back, you can build a better life for yourself.
Small changes that help your mind, your body or your spirit make a big difference. Take on one bad habit at a time, something you think is holding you back.
The amount of time it takes to change a habit varies from the person, the circumstance and the habit itself, but prevailing wisdom says it's somewhere between 2 - 3 months.
Here are some tips:
- Set clear goals. Make sure the behaviors you want to change are specific, measurable, and attainable.
- Make a realistic plan. Set yourself up for success by making sure you have practical ways to reach your goals.
- Avoid making too many changes at once.
- Think positively.
- Change for yourself, not anyone else.
