Celebrating the Removal of the Larkin Dam
The removal of the dam marks an important milestone in restoring the natural function of the river, improving fish passage, enhancing wildlife habitat, and strengthening the long-term health and resilience of the Ipswich River watershed.
Projects like this demonstrate what can be accomplished when conservation organizations, municipalities, state and federal agencies, and community partners come together with a shared vision. I was proud to support this effort and the collaborative work that made this important restoration project possible.
Thank you to the Ipswich River Watershed Association, the Town of Newbury, the Massachusetts Department of Fish and Game, NOAA, and all of the partners whose dedication and commitment helped bring this project to completion.
Protecting and restoring our natural resources is an investment in the future of our communities and the environment we all share.
