Restoring Maine's Kennebec River
Last week, the Nature Conservancy announced it has reached an agreement for the purchase of the four Kennebec dams between Waterville and Skowhegan, an essential step toward their eventual removal and a multi-year restoration process in close collaboration with local communities and businesses. To get a sense of what’s possible when rivers flow free, Colin speaks with Steve Brooke, retired Senior Planner from the Maine State Planning Office and Trout Unlimited member who also served as project coordinator with the Kennebec Coalition during the removal of Edwards Dam.
