We are now raising funds to remove the East Elm St. Dam—the final step toward a free-flowing Royal.

The Royal River Alliance is part of a coalition working together to help the Town of Yarmouth restore the river. The Bridge Street Dam removal is fully funded and underway, and more than 60% of the funding for the full two-dam project has been secured.

We are now helping raise $300,000 locally to match a foundation gift for removal of the East Elm Street Dam and related recreation and public safety improvements. Please consider making a tax-deductible gift. Every donation will be matched dollar for dollar and help restore fish passage between the Royal River and Casco Bay after nearly 200 years.
