River Restoration Priority Projects  are evaluated and undertaken by Riverways in partnership with local and regional river advocacy groups. Priority Projects are solicited each year for dam removal, culvert replacement and retrofits, bank stabilization, and stream daylighting.

River Continuity is a partnership with UMass Extension and other partners which aims to reduce adverse impacts of road crossings on fish and wildlife movement.

Dam Removal Resources. DER collaborates with dam owners, federal, state, local and nonprofit partners, to selectively remove dams and other obstructions reconnecting natural and cultural river communities.
