2014 Restoring Habitat Connectivity, Machias & Saint Croix River tributary streams ME: EBTJV&NFHAP
-
Downeast Lakes Land Trust (DLLT) will continue its work with partners to restore brook trout habitat on priority streams in the headwaters of the Machias River and the west branch of the Saint Croix River by removing passage barriers. Two sites are located within DLLT’s 33,708-acre Farm Cove Community Forest. One is in the adjacent 22,000-acre West Grand Lake Forest owned by GLS Woodlands and conserved under a conservation easement held by the Maine Department of Agriculture, Conservation, & Forestry. The fourth site is on a municipal road in the village of Grand Lake Stream. DLLT will hire a local contractor and coordinate a partnership between the Natural Resources Conservation Service and U.S Fish and Wildlife Service Maine Fisheries Resource Office. On two larger streams (West Branch Amazon Brook and Grand Lake Brook), we anticipate using corrugated metal bottomless arch structures. On the two smaller streams, we anticipate using a pre-cast concrete bottomless arch product that DLLT used for the first time in 2013 with EBTJV support.
This project will result in restoration of upstream passage to approximately 6.4 miles of habitat. It will provide access to a cold water tributary from Grand Lake Stream and between two major tributaries of Grand Lake Brook. Restoring natural stream function will improve brook trout habitat on 4 streams.
