The Alliance Story
About
Who We Are
-
A tribally co-led, community-based alliance of organizations, municipalities, and individuals.
-
Rooted in collaboration, care, and justice for the Mystic River Watershed and its ecosystems.
-
A network dedicated to stewardship, resilience, and regeneration across the lands and waters of Mashantucket and Eastern Pequot homelands.
Mission
To support the flourishing of all life within Connecticut’s Mystic River Watershed.
Vision
We are co-creating and implementing a Watershed Regeneration Action Plan (WRAP)—a living plan that weaves together culture, economy, society, ecology, and infrastructure. The WRAP is rooted in:
​
-
Collaborative education and engagement
-
Coordinated science and data gathering
-
Shared planning, implementation, and evaluation.
By serving as an EPA approved 319 plan for our watershed and as a plan for bioregional regeneration, the WRAP will guide millions of dollars of private and public investment into projects meeting our needs today while supporting the success of future generations.
​
We envision a regenerated watershed with clean and plentiful water, abundant local food systems, thriving businesses and civic institutions, healthy, affordable, and high-performance housing, abundant clean energy, and equitable transportation systems. All of this is rooted in values of reciprocity, respect, and recognizing the mutual benefit of effective collective action.
​​
By working across generations and communities, we harness the power of our collective creativity and wisdom—securing the resources we need for a just, viable, and flourishing future. Our WRAP is a living plan—growing and evolving alongside our knowledge and relationships with this place.
