What you need

Through the Priority Projects program, DER selects projects that help advance our mission. Selections are based upon consideration of the project’s cost, size, practicality, feasibility, opportunity for public benefits, available DER resources, direct benefits to aquatic resources, and partner support.  

DER's most recent call for applications solicited projects located in Massachusetts that focus on cranberry bog wetland restoration, dam removal and river restoration, coastal wetland restoration projects, or a combination of these topics. 

The Restoration Priority Project Request for Response (RFR) is now closed. Applications are no longer being accepted.
