Plans unveiled for removal of #BarMillsDam on #SacoRiver
#Brookfield is seeking public comment on its latest proposal to remove all parts of the dam that are visible from the Main Street bridge in #BuxtonME and #HollisME
by Madeleine Kaptein, June 30, 2026
"Brookfield White Pine Hydro, the Maine branch of #BrookfieldRenewable Partners, rolled out its latest plan for decommissioning the Bar Mills Project dam in Buxton and Hollis to the public last week. The company intends to conduct a full removal rather than the partial removal it proposed in 2022.
"The dam, which sits in the Saco River on the Hollis-Buxton border, has not operated since 2017, when it was found to have concrete issues that prevented it from generating electricity. The company had to decide whether to repower the station, reconstruct the powerhouse and install a fish passage, or surrender and remove the project. It chose to surrender.
"Brookfield is preparing to file its application in the fall for federal, state and local permits to move forward with the decommissioning work. It is seeking feedback on its new plan for the remainder of the summer. Initial questions and comments were heard at a public meeting at the Hollis Town Hall on June 25.[...]
"[My hero] Rita Bradbury spoke at the meeting about concerns about the type of revegetation that will occur in the area, particularly invasive species like #JapaneseKnotweeds that she has seen year after year growing near Usher Island.
" 'I’d like to see a plan from Brookfield where you take it seriously that we don’t want to have an open area for invasive species,' she said. 'I’d like to see a wetland biologist involved so that the right things would grow at the right places and maybe see if there could be a replanting of #NativeSpecies.'
"She also called on Brookfield to remove every part of the dam that it is not using, including the powerhouse spillway, to protect the natural environment and eliminate safety hazards."

#Florida #WildlifeCorridor linking #StateParks would thwart #development
#LoxaLucie Headwaters Initiative aims to buy #HobeSound land for conservation.
by Timothy O'Hara, Jan. 2, 2026
"At a time when development pressure is pushing north into rural Martin County, conservation groups want to protect a wildlife corridor between two state parks in Hobe Sound.
"The Loxa-Lucie Headwaters Initiative was founded to protect the ecologically important corridor between #AtlanticRidgePreserve State Park and #JonathanDickinson State Park and connect the #LoxahatcheeRiver and #SaintLucie rivers. That would create a preserve for #NativePlants and #wildlife species that would span about 70,000 acres.
"The public owns #Hapatiokee and #PalMar regional parks, but there are thousands of acres of privately owned land in natural conditions that are ripe for development, said Guardians of Martin County Executive Director Greg Braun, whose group is part of the initiative.
" 'If they can connect the 2,100-mile Appalachian Trail from Maine to Georgia, we should be able to connect Jonathan Dickinson State Park to Atlantic Ridge Preserve State Park,' Braun told TCPalm."

Crime against wildlife is surging in Australia
Flogging off native animals and plants" Around the world, wildlife and environmental crime is surging. It is estimated to be the fourth largest organised transnational crime sector, and to be growing at a rate two to three times faster than the global economy."
"This is a considerable problem, because Australia has unique and endemic wildlife species, high extinction rates, and is a country that is difficult to police due to its sheer size and vast remote areas. Our new, Australia-first study addresses this knowledge gap."
"We don’t understand the full extent and impact of these crimes in Australia, but we do know they can be disastrous. Wildlife trafficking and illegal trade erodes biodiversity through the removal of native species from their habitats. It also fuels the spread of invasive species, parasites and diseases."
"Over half of the environmental crimes (61.3%) occurred in outer regional and remote areas of Australia. "
