Hoosic River Revival Research/Analyses/Plans | Read More

These are the documents submitted to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers by HRR at the start of the Feasibility Study in 2023. They represent a wide range of technical assessments undertaken over more than a decade to understand the condition of the river and flood control system, and options for modernization. We invite you to explore the many reports/designs linked above. Please note the large file sizes, and that the conceptual designs are ideas for what is possible and do not reflect actual plans for the Hoosic River/City of North Adams.

River Restoration Projects in the USA | Read More

For close to two decades, the non-profit Friends of Herring River has been working in partnership with the Town of Wellfleet, National Park Service/Cape Cod National Seashore Massachusetts Division of Ecological Restoration, USDA Natural Resource Conservation Service, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, and US Fish and Wildlife Service to restore the Herring River, a 1,100-acre tidally-restricted estuary located on Outer Cape Cod, Massachusetts. 

As a result of these efforts, environmental permits and $75 million in state and federal funding are in place to implement phase 1 of the Herring River Restoration Project, the largest salt marsh restoration project in the Northeast. It is anticipated that tidal restoration will begin in 2025.
