Collaborating on Culverts for Watershed Health
Fall Grant Award: $5,500
Project Summary:
This project will make possible a coordinated effort between the BRWA, USFWS and watershed town governments to improve watershed health. By identifying those culverts most in need of repair, the 17 watershed town governments will be able to focus maintenance efforts in a way that not only solves transportation problems, but also addresses fish passage and sediment/erosion problems at road crossings. It will also enable USFWS and BRWA to seek funding for culvert remediation to address watershed needs in a coordinated manner.
