Ecological Restoration: Culverts!

You probably cross over culverts more often than you notice. If they're working right, you shouldn't notice them at all. Culverts are an easy-to-overlook pieces of infrastructure which provide a way for water to flow under crossings (like roads, railways, and more). But if culverts are too small, then the water and wildlife they're meant to convey end up over those crossings. In today's episode we're joined again by Water Resources Engineer Jonas Procton, who talks us through the engineering that goes into improving culverts so that water, wildlife, and traffic can all go where they need to go without getting in each other's way.

Ecological Restoration: Improving River Health with Dam Removals

Jonas Procton, Water Resources Engineer with Horsley Witten Group, returns to the podcast to talk about freeing rivers in New England by removing problematic dams. Thousands of dams, big and small, once powered the region's industrial operations. Since then, many have been abandoned, fallen into disrepair, and impede the flow of water and the movement of aquatic animals. Jonas shares the work involved in removing these dams and the benefits to the community that their removal can provide.

Ecological Restoration: Rewilding Cranberry Bogs

Water Resources Engineer Jonas Procton joins the podcast to talk about the benefits of restoring cranberry bogs to look more like the wetlands and river systems that they once were. Cranberry cultivation remains an important piece of southeastern Massachusetts' agricultural heritage. As some smaller bogs enter retirement, however, their position within and along waterways provides an opportunity to return to a natural state. By removing water control structures, removing sand added during cranberry production, and unearthing buried native plant seed stocks, these former bogs can be returned to scenic and healthy ecosystems providing benefits to the community of people and critters that surround them.
