to the Woonasquatucket River in the Valley neighborhood. FFRI joined forces with WRWC as they built their headquarters to install systems that capture 100 percent of its onsite stormwater runoff, offering flood protection and pollution prevention where they

Farm Fresh’s stormwater capture and cleaning systems serve as an important part of WRWC’s commitment to ‘Greening the Greenway.' In this program, we use our 75-acre, 7-mile Woonasquatucket River Greenway as an opportunity to install and showcase nature-based
stormwater solutions that use plants, soil, and trees to slow down and clean dirty stormwater as it flows to the river. At Farm Fresh, visitors can see nature at work in the form of gardens and other landscape features, installed and maintained by our own
River Ranger team, improving water quality in the Woonasquatucket River and helping protect downtown Providence during major storms.”</span><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:106%;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="Body"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:106%;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">The “Greening the Greenway” initiative is thriving due to the foresight of Senator Jack Reed, who has been instrumental in environmental restoration efforts
across the state and especially along the Woonasquatucket. Senator Reed spearheaded the Southeast New England Program (SNEP), administered by the US Environmental Protection Agency to improve water and habitat quality in Rhode Island and Southeastern Massachusetts.
SNEP funding supported the Woonasquatucket River Rangers to install the landscape elements for FFRI’s nature-based stormwater solutions.

Agency stormwater requirements. We all benefit from this collaboration to contribute to clean water projects such as the beautiful gardens at Farm Fresh while cleaning stormwater before it enters the Woonasquatucket River, and eventually Narragansett Bay,”

in locally grown food and translate it into sales for RI farmers and producers. Strongly mission-driven, Farm Fresh achieved 501c3 status in 2007, and has since implemented a variety of programs to enhance the local food system of the New England region, with
particular attention to farm viability and low-income access to fresh food. Farm Fresh RI operates a wide range of marketplace programs (retail, wholesale, processing, hunger relief) that engage and connect tens of thousands of local eaters with thousands
of New England farmers and producers.
