"For more than a century, a small concrete dam stood in the way of a river’s natural flow. Built to serve industries that no longer exist, the #TempleStreetDam in Duxbury, #Massachusetts, had long outlived its purpose. It blocked fish from reaching their spawning grounds, trapped sediment, created a maintenance burden for the town and disrupted the natural hydrology of the South River. In 2012, conservationists began working to change that. Fourteen years later, in 2026, demolition finally started. The removal of the Temple Street Dam is set to reconnect more than 7 miles of stream, restore 6 acres of open water wetland and bring the South River one step closer to the free-flowing ecosystem it once was, as shared by Town of Duxbury Massachusetts' website."

I’ve spent over a year working on the software and integrations to make this happen, but we’ve finally launched our wetland restoration squares!
Sponsor a square and get a certificate.
First batch is at Warleigh Nature Reserve, on our beaver gentrification project, and I’ll be happy to point you to yours if you come to the weekly volunteering any Saturday.

Why this tribe is buying up hundreds of acres of farmland — and flooding it
A new levee built by the #StillaguamishTribe separates farmland from newly restored #wetlands
by John Ryan, May 3, 2026
"Tribal officials say their habitat projects will help people as well as #salmon the next time floodwaters rise.
"With restored #floodplains, more of the #StillaguamishRiver's destructive surges can spread out and dissipate before causing harm.
"The Stillaguamish Tribe built a new levee last year, farther back from the river, before removing the old levee.
" 'By giving the river more space, we are reducing the damage and the expense to society to maintain infrastructure. It's cheaper to maintain if you stay further away,' Griffith says."

Did you notice the blue colour on the bird’s throat? That’s how this bird got its name, Bluethroat. This is a male, the blue colour is either very pale or not present in females. It is also one of those birds whose naming conventions is based on male’s plumage. Easy to identify. #birds #nature #wetlands #wildlife #wildlifeconservation #wetlandconservation #wetlandrestoration #birdsofindia #birdsofmastadon #migratorybirds
