Across New England, aging and unsafe dam infrastructure has led to an increase in dam removals. In West Boylston, the MA Water Resources Authority (MWRA), working with the Dept of Conservation and Recreation, the Division of Ecological Restoration, and the Division of Fisheries and Wildlife, is undertaking a project to remove the obsolete Quinapoxet Dam and ecologically restore this regionally important river.
Join us for this free public presentation by John Gregoire, Senior Operations Manager at MRWA, to learn more about the history of the dam, the dam removal process, and the benefits of ecological restoration of the Quinapoxet River, including restored passage for land-locked salmon and native brook trout.
This presentation is free and open to the public, made possible in part by a grant from the MA Division of Ecological Restoration.
