Indian Lake Watershed Association (ILWA)
Indian Lake is the largest body of water located completely within the City of Worcester, Massachusetts (population of 170,000+). The 193-acre lake offers many family activities including two public swimming beaches, picnic and recreation areas, a public boat launch and a tennis court. In 1978, the Indian Lake Improvement Association was formed and in 1985, the Indian Lake Watershed Association (ILWA) was incorporated as a non-profit 501(3c). The organization began as a group of concerned residents who wanted to revive the ailing water body and has grown to be one of the strongest neighborhood groups in the City of Worcester, working in cooperation with both city officials and residents to combat the effects of development within the watershed. The ILWA now maintains a membership of 200+ members with a mission of enhancing the livability of the entire 10 square-mile Indian Lake Watershed.
Blackstone River Coalition (BRC)
The BRC's mission is to restore and protect water quality and wildlife habitat in the river corridors, and to advocate for sound land use in the Blackstone River watershed.
