SHUTESBURY RIGHTS OF WETLANDS

Declaring Rights of Shutesbury Wetlands

Local projects underway include plans for public education forums about the Rights of Wetlands and legislative initiatives.

Our working group is based on two basic principles:

1. Any meaningful change must be grounded in principles of democracy and the right to self-governance at the local level. 

2. Any efforts to establish the Rights of Wetlands, or the rights of the people to protect them, must include the rights of Indigenous communities to advocate for the Rights of Wetlands.
