Efforts to preserve, protect Buckeye Brook topic of coalition meeting March 3

Posted

The Buckeye Brook Coalition 2015 Annual meeting will be held March 3 from 7 to 8:30 p.m. at the Warwick Public Library.  

The meeting will consist of opening comments, annual election of officers and directors and a speaking program on the environmental mitigation programs in the Buckeye Brook watershed.

Speakers include representatives of the Buckeye Brook Coalition, the Rhode Island Airport Corporation, and VHB engineers, planners, and scientists who will present a short history and highlight major accomplishments achieved and in-progress to protect and preserve the Buckeye Brook Watershed. 

Speakers will outline how Warwick and Spring Green Ponds are being reconnected with a more natural and restored stream flow to assist the river herring in completing their annual journey.  They will describe how the mitigation team has designed a habitat specifically for river herring migration as well as learn from RIAC officials about the state of the art deicer management systems under construction at the airport.

“Discover how the Buckeye Brook Coalition participates with ongoing water quality programs to ensure we continue to Protect and Preserve our local treasure,” says Bill Aldrich of the Buckeye Brook Coalition.
