River Stewardship

The District worked with our water quality partners in Southern Vermont to create this page of resources to help land managers make decisions about taking care of rivers and adjacent habitats. Thank you to the Vermont Community Foundation and the Windham Regional Commission for funding and administrative support on this project.

The conservation district is a founding member of the alliance the Green River Watershed Alliance (GRWA). GRWA is a community-led voice for the stewardship and protection of the River and its surrounding landscape. GRWA unites the towns within the watershed to proactively reduce the impacts of flooding, support healthy ecosystems, and increase the overall awareness and appreciation of the River and its watershed.

The text advertises what erosion looks like, how to avoid it and how to get technical assistance.
