Restoring Balance
to the Kennebec River

Healthy River, Healthy Economy, Healthy Communities

The Kennebec River can be home to one of the largest river restoration efforts in the nation, reconnecting over 800 miles of river and stream habitat.

Through thoughtful collaboration, it can be done in a way that provides economic benefits to towns along the river, from municipal revenue to local jobs, while supporting ecological benefits to fish populations and the communities that depend on them.
