Boquet River Community Survey

A Community Survey from Your Watershed Organization

We want to hear from you.
This survey is brought to you by the Boquet River Association (BRASS). We care deeply about the Boquet river, and our mission is to improve the health of the river and the lives of the residents and the communities in the watershed (Elizabethtown, Essex, Lewis, Westport and Willsboro).
We are looking ahead at our next five years, and we believe the community's voice should shape our work. Can you take a few minutes to respond to this survey?
This survey takes about 8–10 minutes to complete.
1.How long have you lived in this area?
2.How often do you visit the river or its banks?
3.What brings you to the river? Check all that apply.
4.What gets in the way of visiting the river more frequently or at all?
5.In your own words, why do you think it matters to take care of our river? Or, if you're not sure it does, feel free to say so — we genuinely want to know.
6.Which of these best describes how you think about the river? Pick up to three.
7.How would you describe the health of the river today?
