How Rivers Work: River Science 101 Workshop

Tuesday, September 15
5:30 pm - 7:00 pm
Free

Cancelled in the event of severe weather | Registration Required

north branch river in fallWe’ll explore basic concepts in river dynamics to learn how to “read” our streams and interpret their behavior over time. In this hands-on workshop and field outing, we’ll use a stream table to model river dynamics in the classroom, then walk to the North Branch to examine these processes in action. We’ll then apply these tools to understand why Central Vermont is so vulnerable to flooding. Instructed by Alison Spasyk (Lake Champlain Sea Grant) and Sean Beckett (North Branch Nature Center).

Offered 9/8 and 9/15

This project has been funded wholly or in part by the United States Environmental Protection Agency under assistance agreement (LC 00A01526-0) to NEIWPCC in partnership with the Lake Champlain Basin Program.
