About This Event

Join Lowell Parks and Conservation Trust for a fascinating behind-the-scenes tour of the Duck Island Clean Water Facility!

Visit a place you've often driven by but have never get to see up close, but one that plays a huge role in protecting Lowellian’s health and the environment.

You’ll get an inside look at how millions of gallons of wastewater are cleaned every day, meet the systems that keep our water safe, and learn why this hidden infrastructure matters more than ever.

Plus, hear about the Merrimack River Revive project by NMCOG, an exciting regional effort tackling flooding, stormwater, and water quality to build a cleaner, stronger future for communities along the river.

This is a unique chance to explore where science, engineering, and environmental stewardship come together right here in Lowell.
