CRWA and Town of Milford Receive $65K State Grant to Create Habitat Restoration Plan for Upper Charles Watershed

Written By Charles River

We are excited to announce that Charles River Watershed Association, in partnership with the Town of Milford, has secured a $65,513 state grant to develop a habitat restoration plan for the 9.1-square-mile Upper Charles watershed, including six miles of key river habitat.

The project will use field data, assessments, and community input to prioritize actions that improve habitat connectivity and water quality. The Milford Community Liaison Core Team, proposed through another state grant, will be involved in public engagement efforts, which will include significant opportunities for community feedback.

CRWA will work to identify key sites for feasible restoration projects that primarily utilize nature-based solutions. Once implemented, this project will begin to restore connectivity, water quality, and habitats, and help mitigate flooding and drought.
