YARMOUTH — The town will hold a meeting on Oct. 29 to provide an update on efforts to restore the Royal River as a free-flowing fisheries route to Casco Bay and beyond.
The meeting will be held at 7 p.m. at the Log Cabin, 196 Main St.
Speakers will include Karen Wilson and Theo Willis, researchers at the University of Southern Maine who are affiliated with Maine’s Sustainability Solutions Initiative.
The next phase of river restoration will be funded by more than $90,000 in grants raised by Town Planner Vanessa Farr and the nonprofit Maine Rivers organization, according to Landis Hudson, executive director of Maine Rivers.
Hudson said the money will be used to analyze sediment, erosion and contaminants in the upper section of the river and model what the river would look like if the dam at East Elm Street were removed.
