dc.description.abstractNash Stream located in northern New Hampshire was once a quality wild brook trout stream, and home to Atlantic salmon. Unfortunately, instream habitat and fish passage were significantly degraded due to historic logging practices and a catastrophic dam failure in 1969. The Nash Stream Restoration Project is a multi-year, collaborative effort that was launched in 2005 to improve the watershed’s condition so that it once again functions as a healthy and self-sustaining coldwater fishery. The Nash Stream Case Study demonstrates how partnerships met a variety of challenges including technical and funding to successfully remediate six perched culverts on tributaries to Nash Stream. Two of the culverts were removed and the crossings retired; four were replaced with bridges. The case study explores the roles of the participating state, federal, nonprofit and private partners, and shows how these entities successfully collaborated to assess, research, design, engineer, construct, monitor, and coordinate the Project. The partners include Trout Unlimited, NH Fish and Game Department, NH Division of Forest and Lands, US Fish and Wildlife Service, NH Department of Environmental Services, Natural Resource Conservation Service, NH Charitable Foundation, Trout and Salmon Foundation, and Fish America Foundation.
