If you've been following Barre City's flood recovery and mitigation planning for the last several years, you've probably heard the strategies of dredging or riverbed maintenance mentioned. North Branch Nature Center is hosting a free talk on Tuesday evening (January 28th) at 6:30 at their Montpelier location to teach the basics of these interventions. Link to free tickets in comments.

Join us for our 2026 Naturalist Journeys Presentation Series! This year's series is all about understanding how our watersheds function, how our rivers flow, and which actions move us towards - or away from - becoming a more resilient riverside community. đź’¦
👷‍♀️Our next presentation is To Dredge or not to Dredge: River Management and Flood Disasters in Vermont with Shayne Jaquith. As European settlement spread across Vermont, rivers were dredged and straightened in an attempt to contain floodwaters and keep the channel out of the way of roads, fields and buildings. We now know that these practices have led to major channel instability and erosion that continues to exacerbate flood damages today. We’ll discuss the history of river management in Vermont, how rivers have responded, when dredging is and isn’t appropriate, and what solutions exist to achieve the results we’re looking for.

Free tickets required, registerhttps://northbranchnaturecenter.org/event/nj-2026-jaquith/. This presentation will also be livestreamed.

Generously sponsored by Hunger Mountain Co-op, Catamount Solar, Onion River Outdoors, Waite-Heindel Environmental Management, and Washington Electric Co-op. Grant funded by Lake Champlain Basin Program and New England Interstate Water Pollution Control Commission (NEIWPCC).
