Mill
Brook Restoration Project |
||
|
A restoration project was undertaken in 2004 to restore the 350-acre salt marsh in the lower Mill Brook watershed. This three phase project was designed to restore the open water habitat of marsh pools and pannes thereby enhancing fish, shorebird, and wading bird populations In February 2005, the Maine Coastal Program of the Maine State Planning office awarded $1402.00 from their Shore Stewards Grant Program to the Friends of Scarborough Marsh to conduct Water Quality Testing in Mill Brook. This Mill Brook Water Quality Analysis Final Report begins by providing background information on Mill Brook, describes the recent restoration efforts, and gives a historical look at the persistent water quality issues. The report then discusses the purpose and goals of the 2005 water testing, the methodology and the findings. The report concludes with recommendations for restoring and protecting the water quality of Mill Brook. This report is available here Download the text of the report (48KB)
