This program seeks to advance the quality and quantity of dam removal and ecological restoration in Massachusetts by providing an overview of the issue and solutions to existing & potential practitioners.
Join us for a full-day, in-person training in Worcester, MA on October 26, 2023 from 9am-4:30pm. The training will offer a practical 101 introduction of the complicated topic of dam removal. The first half of the day will feature speakers on logistics, public buy-in, permitting, and funding. The second half of the day will be dedicated to a charrette to use what we’ve learned. Each person will be given a stakeholder goal and small groups will try to come to an agreement on next steps.
Audience:
Dam removal & ecological restoration practitioners, or potential practitioners. This includes local champions, watershed groups, consultants, state/fed agencies, and others who provide technical assistance around this topic, are or want to be project managers, and those who influence decision makers around this topic. We want to make “cheerleaders” for dam removal and ecological restoration that can work together through future groups and calls.
