This time on Falmouth in Focus - a river renaissance.
Where the fish swim again, and native plants bloom into an explosion of color and diversity. It’s nature at work -- with plenty of help from a broad coalition of state and local team players.
But now -- after more than a decade of diligence, and so close to the finish line -- questions over federal funding may delay the final chapter of the project. We’re diving deep, into the Coonamessett River Restoration.
Featuring: National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), The 300 Committee Land Trust of Falmouth, FishAmerica Foundation, Marine Fisheries, @mass_environmental_trust, @falmouthrodandgunclub, Massachusetts Division of Fisheries & Wildlife, and many more.
The next taping of Poetic License will be TOMORROW at FCTV. We've moved to the third Thursday of each month for the time being. Please join us at 6:00pm tomorrow at FCTV and offer your four-minute original song, poem, or story! Here's three poems from Ron Zweig from our last taping in December.
