Forty years ago, the waters of the Connecticut River were vastly improved, mainly through teeth exerted by the Environmental Protection Agency (among many others) on flagrant polluters.
On My Mind…
As Estuary begins its fifth year of publication, it seems fitting to reflect on what has taken place and what lies ahead.
IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT: NEW OWNERSHIP, SAME MISSION
This is a great time to join the estuary family by becoming a subscriber.
The Aftermath of the Great Floods of 2023
If more evidence was needed to remind us of the need for a watershed-wide strategy toward environmental planning and protection, the recent storms and rains in the north of New England provided just that.
On My Mind: Habitats
This issue is dedicated to the Farmington River Watershed, a cornucopia of wonderful habitats for wildlife and mankind.
From the Publisher- Looking Back
This issue is the thirteenth since Ralph Wood and I started Estuary magazine four years ago. We have published nearly 200 articles and more than 500 photos, maps, and other images, all related to the Connecticut River watershed.

My father operated a farm in Maryland in 1944 and planted five acres of string beans, all to go toward the war effort.

I’ll not dwell on the wonderful testimonials to the first issue…only to say they were as intimidating as they were gratifying as we realized how this second issue, with its theme of recreation, would be measured against the first. Once again, we count on our readers to tell us how we did, and always, how we can do better. We also look forward to submissions of articles and photos through our website at estuarymagazine.com.
Where Science and Faith Intersect
Faith and science should meet more often…when they do, good things can happen. The Episcopal Church of Connecticut and the Connecticut River Conservancy co-sponsored an event this summer along the banks of the Connecticut River.

I read Judy Preston’s article with growing alarm, as I have gardens full of yellow iris.

Volume II, Issue I. These few words, in fact, speak volumes. Estuary’s Volume I, Issue I, better known as Spring 2020, came out, arguably, at the worst possible time for a new print magazine. The publishing industry had long since administered last rites to print magazines in general, so why did we think we could succeed with Estuary?

Editor’s Log: Island Solitude
“Come to the woods, for here there is rest,” wrote John Muir, the pioneering environmental activist and writer. “There is no repose like that of the green deep woods.” Few knew the healing power of nature better than Muir (1838–1914), whose deep connection with the outdoors was forged through a convalescence.
