Removal of the Washburn Mill Dam on the Mohawk River will restore connectivity to 39.3 miles of extremely high-quality brook trout habitat. This 90-year-old dam in Colebrook, New Hampshire was no longer functional, but continued to block connectivity for fish and aquatic wildlife and put the surrounding community at risk from future climate related flooding.
