Renewal: Restoring fish passage in Maine

Maine is home to the only remaining populations of wild Atlantic salmon in the U.S. The Appalachian Trail Conservancy has worked with partners to remove a perched culvert near the A.T. and restore aquatic habitat in Henderson Brook, a priority tributary to the West Branch of the Pleasant River for Atlantic salmon recovery. The project is helping rescue the species from the brink of extinction and providing access to valuable rearing waters that have been blocked for decades. (7 minuted video)
