Bayview Bog Project

Timeline & Project Plan

According to the DER, the timeline for Bayview Bogs project includes:

• Assessment: One to two years
• Design: One to two years
• Permitting: Six to nine months
• Construction: Six to nine months

The Bayview Bogs Restoration Project will span five years. Like an ailing patient at Cape Cod Hospital next door, the former cranberry bog will undergo a comprehensive assessment for ways to bring it back to good ecological health. The Cape Cod Conservation District will coordinate assessment efforts with Cape Cod Hospital and the Division of Ecological Restoration (DER).

Wetland Restoration Project Overview

The Bayview Bogs restoration project hopes to replicate a completed wetlands restoration effort on the Coonamessett River in Falmouth. The area has seen the return of herring into the river, as well as the return of healthy and indigenous plant and wildlife activity.
