Free Nashua River Watershed Association “Dam Removals in MA” Presentation
 |
| Residents of Shirley are invited to the Nashua River Watershed Association’s free presentation on “Dam Removals in Massachusetts.” WHEN: Thursday, February 15, 2024 at 7:00 pm WHERE: Shirley Town Hall, 7 Keady Way in Shirley WHAT: Across New England, aging and unsafe dam infrastructure has led to an increase in dam removals. These dam removals can provide significant public safety and ecological benefits, from a reduced risk of flooding to restored river connectivity. Supported by the MA Division of Ecological Restoration, the Nashua River Watershed Association is offering an educational talk about dam removals in Massachusetts, covering a general overview of why and how unsafe dams are removed, and what changes you might expect to see in your community as a result. REGISTER: Registration is not required, but encouraged for planning purposes. Register online today for NRWA’s presentation in Shirley. QUESTIONS: Please email Jessica Veysey Powell, NRWA Watershed Scientist. Unable to attend on February 15th? This presentation will also be given in Groton: March 6th at 7pm at the Prescott Community Center, 145 Main Street. Register online with the Prescott Community Center. March 27th at noon at The Groton Center, 163 West Main Street. To register: Stop by in-person at The Groton Center, call 978-448-1170, or register online through the MyActiveCenter.  These presentations are free and open to the public, made possible in part by a grant from the MA Division of Ecological Restoration.
