Below are links to our two primary projects in Newton, we will be posting updates on two related projects, Newton Cemetery and Arboretum and Newton City Hall shortly.

Finding fish in these heavily altered streams where no fish were thought to exist is important work. These often overlooked and underappreciated urban and suburban waterway need help. Without your support NFC’s work could not happen. Please consider donating to NFC so we can continue and expand this important and unique wild native fish conservation work.
