Completed in 2013, the Freeman’s Pond project replaced an undersized culvert that restricted flow between Paine’s Creek and Freemans Pond on the southeast side of Route 6A in Brewster. The project improved tidal flow, benefitted over 20 acres of salt marsh and associated plant communities, fish and coastal bird species. The site has an active anadromous fish run for herring and brown trout.
