American Rivers and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Restoration Center recently announced that the Massachusetts Department of Fish and Game’s Division of Ecological Restoration will receive $75,000 to help remove two dams on the Beaver Dam Brook in Plymouth. Removal of the dams should restore about 3.5 miles of stream and 250 acres of coastal wetlands to a more natural state, allowing fish to migrate from the ocean to their headwaters and stream-side forests to grow. The project received an additional $75,000 from the Massachusetts Environmental Trust, which is funded by the sales of environmental license plates.
