SUMMARY:Gardening for Biodiversity Meadow Conservation Walk & Talk
DESCRIPTION:In a historic barn in the beautiful hills of Colrain\, enjoy presentations by Massachusetts Pollinator Network steering committee co-chair\, Amy Meltzer\, and property owners Kendra and Allan Daniel\, followed by a self-guided tour of the Daniels’ meadow (maps will be available). Refreshments will be provided. \nIn her talk\, Amy will focus on the current biodiversity crisis\, the evolutionary history among native plants\, insects\, birds and fungi\, and how these interdependent relationships among diverse species are necessary for their survival. She will show how growing native plants and using ecological landscape practices can simultaneously reverse biodiversity loss\, increase resilience in our landscapes\, and slow climate change – all while creating a beautiful garden! \n\nHosted by: Colrain Pollinator Project\, Kendra & Allan Daniel\nWhere: Colrain\, MA (address details will be sent to participants)\nFee: FREE – Advance registration is required\nDonations may be made to the Massachusetts Pollinator Network or the Center for Biological Diversity. \n\n\n\n	Related

SUMMARY:Visit to the North River Restoration Project in Colrain\, MA
DESCRIPTION:Following several design iterations and four-plus years of permitting review\, ecological restoration of the East Branch North River along the Dornbusch/Standish and Cromack parcels in Colrain\, MA was completed in November 2020.   The restoration was undertaken as described in the East Branch North River Restoration Project\, Dornbusch and Cromack Parcels\, Colrain\, Franklin County\, Massachusetts plan set developed by Field Geology Services and approved by the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection on August 4\, 2020.  The restoration consisted of five parts: 1) stabilization of 1\,150 linear feet eroding stream banks by construction of three sections of wood buttress\, 2) establishment and/or enhancement of 2.1 acres of forested and herbaceous riparian buffer habitat\, including invasive species treatment and removal\, 3) relocation of 325 linear feet of farm road away from the stream bank\, 4) removal of two failing tributary culverts and replacing one crossing with the construction of a stabilized stream ford\, and 5) restoration and stabilization of the lower reach of the tributary just above its confluence with the East Branch North River. \nThis project is unique in Massachusetts\, and uses nature-based design and flow deflection principles to enhance the in-stream and riparian habitat while protecting agricultural resources.  We hope you can join us for this event\, which is hosted by the Franklin Land Trust\, Trout Unlimited\, Connecticut River Conservancy\, and Nicolas Miller of Field Geology Services. \n\n\n	Related
