“Back to Nature”<\/strong> by Allen Orsi, P.E., a Managing Engineer in Pare’s Geotechnical Division, is the winner of the 5th Annual Earth Day Photo Contest. This year, Pare employees were asked to submit a photo inspired by the Earth Day 2015 theme: Take a stand, so that together we can show the world a new direction. It\u2019s our turn to lead. Our world leaders will follow.<\/em><\/p>\n

The 2015 photo contest was incredibly close. There was a tie between photos for most of the week, but in the end, “Back to Nature” won by two votes!<\/p>\n

\"Photo<\/a><\/p>\n

The Bartlet Pond Dam, originally constructed in 1814, was a barrier to the natural ecology of the Wekepeke Brook for nearly 200 years. During that time, the presence of the dam resulted in increased water temperatures, lower Dissolved Oxygen, disconnected environments, and other environmental detriments. In 2014, the dam was removed, restoring the area to a natural stream channel and allowing for the natural healing of the ecosystem to begin, which will benefit both the Wekepeke as well as the Nashua River, located shortly downstream. In recognition of this achievement, state and local officials gathered to celebrate the project and other environmental initiatives being supported financially through programs being offered by EOEEA. Attendance at the event demonstrated the state\u2019s commitment and progress in restoring our natural environment; the new growth embodies the power of nature to overcome man\u2019s interference in the cycle of nature.<\/em><\/p>\n

Congratulations to our winner, Allen Orsi. Allen will receive a gift card to Briggs Garden & Home. <\/a><\/p>\n
