State Government Funds Made Available for Stream Crossing Improvements In late August, Governor Baker’s office announced that $932,000 would be made available for upgrading road-stream crossings. “Replacing culverts with larger, safer structures is a common-sense, nature-based approach to restore river health and to make cities and towns more resilient to storms.” Though by no means an enormous sum of money (given the expenses associated with these projects) it does provide some seed money and helps to draw attention to the importance of the task. The WRWA board has worked over the years to support the work of the Wild and Scenic Westfield Committee and the MA Division of Ecological Restoration in their efforts to promote best practices for towns in the watershed seeking to develop long-term plans for infrastructure stability and stream and wildlife integrity.
