Vinica Brook Restoration Public Talk
Join us to explore one of the largest stream and freshwater wetland restoration projects in Massachusetts.
The Vinica Brook Restoration Project will:
- Remove outdated dams and culverts
- Reconnect 10+ miles of stream habitat
- Restore 300+ acres of wetlands
- Enhance 1,600+ acres of riparian and upland habitat
Despite being a cold water fishery and BioMap Core Habitat, Vinica Brook is currently impacted by aging dams that degrade water quality, block wildlife movement, and reduce flood resilience.
Learn how science-driven restoration is:
- Improving ecosystem health
- Supportingfish and wildlife
- Increasing climate resilience
Led by Norcross Wildlife Foundation in partnership with Mass Audubon, MassWildlife, American Rivers, and UMass Amherst.
Date: Saturday, May 30, 10:00am-12:00pm
