DER will work with interested landowners to complete on-the-ground wetland restoration projects on retired cranberry farms.
DER is working to identify sites where dam management can be altered to provide ecological benefits while balancing in-lake needs.
Finding Balance at Town Creek in Salisbury
DER worked with consultants to advance the three top projects to concept plan level.
This spring, important advancements were made at two sites.
Phase 1 is complete and included restoration of 11-acres of former cranberry bog.
DER & partners completed an engineering feasibility study to investigate the removal of the High Street Dam.
Dam removal restores access for local trout population to approximately 4 miles of clean, coldwater habitat.
DER is seeking applications for aquatic habitat restoration and revitalization Priority Projects.
During the summer of 2017, DER piloted two water conservation strategies, targeted at reducing residential summer outdoor water use.
