Note: This is the 3rd in a series of columns about Mere Brook (aka, Mare, Mair Creek). The brook is central to Brunswick, and it is federally-listed as “urban-impaired”; as such, it is in need of improved water quality, and our town has just entered year two of a Maine DEP planning grant for that improvement. As part of that grant’s work, the town hired fluvial geomorphologist John Field to conduct an assessment, which he based on a walk of the stream from source to near head of tide last June.
