Help Free the Royal River

Donate to help remove the East Elm St. Dam

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 additional river restoration including: East Elm Street Dam removal, invasive plant management and restoration along the riverbanks, Middle Falls adaptive management, and for improvement of related recreation and public safety. Please consider making a tax-deductible gift. Every gift will be matched dollar for dollar, helping restore a free-flowing Royal River and fish passage after more than 250 years.
