Native Plants return in Stamford's Mill River Restoration

If a river herring had tried to swim up Mill River to spawn last spring, it likely would have been thwarted by a hulking concrete block beneath the Pulaski Street bridge -- a remnant of a dam dating to the 1800s. Today, the herring instead would encounter a riverbed engineered to encourage its life cycle. Part of the ongoing $7.9 million Mill River restoration project creating a 26 acre park & 3 mile greenway stretching from Scalzi Park to Long Island Soound.
