Join Norcross Board Chair and Regional Director of American Rivers Andy Fisk to discuss the process of reconnecting rivers and streams focusing on the Vinica Brook watershed restoration project.

From the host: “Our rivers, brooks, and wetlands are the circulation system of a healthy environment. But over time humans have made decisions to block the healthy circulation of water by constructing dams and culverts. The Vinica Brook watershed in the Tupper Hill Sanctuary has many dams and culverts that were built over decades as part of Arthur Norcross’s vision that these ponds would improve and create habitat. Today we understand that this work wasn’t the best thing for the watershed and the Foundation is undertaking an important effort to make Vinica Brook on the Sanctuary better support native fish, plants, and mammals through dam and culvert removal. This presentation will be a general introduction to river restoration and a preview of work beginning to continue Arthur Norcross’s legacy of healthy and abundant habitats.”
