> Bass River has many active and inactive cranberry bogs. Some are photogenic landmarks, but others have been abandoned - tucked away along the back roads of Dennis & Yarmouth.
>  
> It is widely proven that wetlands are able to store carbon at a higher rate than trees.  Reintroducing more wetlands along Bass River would be a critical step towards a cleaner waterway.
>  
> After retirement, many farmed bogs require intervention to return to their original wetland state. Decades of sand application over native soils, ditching, and the use of water controls alter natural hydrology and limit the ability the land to recover.
>  
> This discussion will showcase a project located in Plymouth that resulted in an extraordinary turnaround. Friends of Bass River believes a project like this would be a step towards achieving our water quality goals. 
>

> Alex Hackman is a Restoration Ecologist for the Massachusetts Department of Fish and Game's Division of Ecological Restoration (DER), and manager of a program dedicated to restoring wetlands on retired cranberry farmland.  For the past 12 years, he has managed aquatic habitat restoration projects for DER including dam removals, culvert replacements, stream channel and floodplain re-construction, and wetlands.  Alex is a Certified Ecological Restoration Practitioner (CERP) from the Society for Ecological Restoration (SER), sits on the SER-New England Board of Directors, and won the chapter's 2018 award for excellence in restoration.  Alex lives in Medford with his sweetheart Keri-Nicole, is passionate about public service and helping Mother Nature, and is an avid but terrible kayak fisherman.
