SEYMOUR - Efforts to clean up and beautify the Naugatuck River will be the focus of a program at the Seymour Historical Society at 2 p.m. Oct. 23.
The 39-mile-long river that runs through western Connecticut has played a major role in the region’s history, providing power for factories and creating chaos through flooding.
In recent years, there have been considerable efforts to restore it to its pre-industrial condition.

He will also discuss the threats to the river’s health, and conservation efforts aimed at addressing these problems, enhancing recreational opportunities and restoring its beauty.
