River projects are undertaken to improve our northern waterways by stabilizing eroded riverbanks, restoring riparian buffer zones and enhancing public access.

From the Coaticook to the Connecticut, the Corps has completed a variety of restoration and enhancement projects that have:

• improved fish and wildlife habitat
• reduced sedimentation and runoff
• and promoted healthier rivers and communities

In addition, the Kingdom Corps has worked with a number of private and public organizations to provide public boat and fishing access on local rivers.

Are you a landowner with river or lake frontage in the NEK?
