Success Story 2017

Boardman Dam Removal

PROJECT NAME:
Boardman Dam Removal
GRANTEE:
Conservation Resource Alliance
RESULT:
1 dam removed

We funded Conservation Resource Alliance’s Boardman River Dams Project to remove three dams and restore 15 river miles along the Boardman River near Traverse City, Michigan.  CRA reports that they have successfully removed Boardman Dam, the second of the three dams slated for removal. CRA now turns its attention to removing Sabin Dam, the last of the three dams on the river.   Removing these dams will result in a free flowing and reborn Boardman River
