Dam and Culvert Projects

Dams and poorly designed culverts act as obstructions in our rivers. These obstructions hinder natural river processes and aquatic organisms from moving upstream. By removing these barriers we create a healthier rivers, protect the infastructure around them, and improve habitat for natural communities. These projects take years, inolvlve many partners, and require lots of funding. They are essential work in creating a healthy, resilient Winooski River.
