Vermont River On 10 Rivers to Watch List

The Upper Browns River in Vermont has been named one of the 10 Waters to Watch by the National Fish Habitat Board, a group of the nation's leading authorities on aquatic conservation.

The effort on the Upper Browns River will focus on two miles of riparian restoration with one mile of new habitat for the Eastern brook trout and other species.

The river was picked because of the work by private landowners and federal partners to establish riparian buffers and removal of fish passage barriers.

For more information on this project or the 10 Waters to Watch program, contact Chris Smith, (802) 872-0629, or at the Web site: www.fishhabitat.org.
