Project Abstract
This project focuses on promoting community engagement in restoration efforts around Mill Creek, a tidal marsh in Chelsea, MA. The overall goal was to increase public awareness and engage Chelsea residents in restorative initiatives. Our methodology for the project was to identify public opinions through surveys, obtain knowledge through interviews with stakeholders, and then create a deliverable to help educate residents. Results showed that residents would benefit from more public spaces and environmental awareness. Residents can use the educational tool to educate themselves on the history and projects of Mill Creek, as well as facilitate further use of the survey for more community engagement.
