The Little Hoosic Watershed Association is pleased to announce that the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service will be performing a survey of the river and preparing plans for rehabilitation projects. This design work will be performed as a free service by the agency. Implementation of the USF&W designs will: 1) help alleviate river bank and farmland erosion, 2) provide enhancement of trout habitat, 3) help to reduce the build-up of debris, and 4) slow down the rate of water flow during storms.
With the help of U.S. Fish & Wildlife and other government agencies, the Association is exploring sources for grants to help pay for implementation of the design. For more information or to help support our work, contact a member of the Board of Directors.
Members of the current Board, elected at the July 2008 Annual Meeting, are:
Carl Greene, President
Pat Sweeney, Vice President
Claudia Kavenagh, Secretary
Tim Allen
Derek Burhans
Len Clapp
