Culvert Removal and Stream Restoration, Henderson Brook, Brownville, ME
This project, completed in 2023, rectified the final barrier to native fish passage on Henderson Brook, connecting an additional 3.3 miles of existing Brook Trout habitat to the West Branch, and opening access for Atlantic salmon. Removal of the existing culvert, and replacement with an open bottom bridge and stream restoration, will lead to improved habitat conditions, reduced stream sedimentation, reduced flooding and improved recreation opportunities.
New bridge over Henderson Brook
Uninhibited fish passage is now possible for the length of the 3.9 mile Henderson Brook.
