Bowdoinham has received a “transformative” grant to bring new life to its waterfront, reforesting a new park near the heart of town. The town received a $15,000 Maine Forest Service Project Canopy grant to support the first phase of its efforts to reforest the new Bowdoinham Riverfront Park, the former site of the public works department. Around 45 native trees and hundreds of native shrubs were planted in the park using funds from Project Canopy. The new trees will serve multiple environmental purposes, such as erosion control, habitat restoration, and carbon sequestration.
