Since 2021, Wildlands has restored over 3 miles of stream along the Bushkill through dam removal and habitat restoration. Together with partners, Wildlands removed a series of five dams, the last of which was removed this summer in the City of Easton. These dam removals helped open the Bushkill Creek to fish passage, reconnecting the waterway to the Delaware and into the Atlantic Ocean for the first time in 200 years. These efforts are improving the Bushkill Creek for community recreation value, suitability for native fish populations, as well as freshwater mussel communities that play a critical role in removing bacteria, algae, and other contaminants.\n\nFor details, click here: https://engage.wildlandspa.org/component/events/event/164
