The Cape Ann Vernal Pond Team was established and began locating and certifying vernal ponds in 1990 as a joint venture with the New England Herpetological Society. In 2006 CAVPT became a Federal 501(c)3 non-profit organization.
The mission of the Parker River Clean Water Association is to preserve and protect the river and its ecosystem through the development of community based objectives and coalitions based upon individuals, groups, businesses, schools, and governments who understand their connection to the river and the watershed and who will act to protect it for future generations.
