Karina Dailey, chair of the Vermont Dam Task Force will give a presentation this Thursday at 7 PM at the Salisbury Meeting House (Congo Church at 853 Maple Street).

Her presentation is titled: The Vermont Dam Task Force and the Removal and Restoration of the Wainwright Mill Dam in Salisbury. 

The Wainwright Mill Dam near the junction of Routes 7 and 53 in Salisbury was built in 1805 to power a sawmill.  Many of us have witnessed the removal of the dam this summer and fall and wondered about the goals and procedures of that project.  Karina will give a PowerPoint presentation with plenty of time for your questions afterward. 

Karina Dailey is the restoration ecologist at the Vermont Natural Resource Conservation Council and the Chair of the Vermont Dam Task Force.  The task force is a group of river and fish biologists, anglers, community members, freshwater advocates, and conservation organizations, that are working to restore and reconnect our rivers to support thriving fish populations, improved recreational access, and a river's natural capacity to handle flooding.  

This is the first of a series of Thursday night fall & winter presentations organized by the Salisbury Conservation Commission.  It is free and open to the public.  Donations for the use and maintenance of this beautiful building will be accepted.
