Projects

Coalition partners are continuously engaged in a variety of on-the-ground projects to implement recommendations and action items from the Presumpscot River Management Plan. We welcome the opportunity to collaborate on initiatives that affect the health of the river and the watershed and that help inform decision making. A summary of recent projects is provided below.

Presumpscot Watershed Initiative- a multi-year effort to implement water quality improvement projects and outreach programs throughout the watershed.
Watershed signs- created and posted at prominent stream crossings to strengthen ties to the landscape.
Gravel pit study- sheds light on the impacts of development on local natural resources.
Presumpscot River watershed tours- sharing lessons learned and current issues with watershed stakeholders.
Trailhead information kiosks- provide an opportunity for outdoor enthusiasts to learn about the cultural and natural history of the river.

"The Presumpscot River Guide"- revision and second printing reflects changes in human relationships with the river and subsequent improvements to the river’s health.
