On October 26th, 2023, the Collaborative hosted a Dam Removal Conference at Clark University. In the morning, we had experts speak about funding, permitting, and gaining public support for a dam removal project. In the afternoon, we held a stakeholder consensus charette using materials from The Dam Atlas, created by Emily Vogler.
