Part of our Resilient Rivers Series
Visit the defunct and derelict dams of Montpelier’s industrial past, and learn why these small structures lead to big problems. Old dams collect sediment upstream, increase erosion downstream, and alter the river’s flow to increase the risk of flood damage over time. On this walking tour, learn about how Montpelier is addressing these issues, and the work that’s being done by Vermont River Conservancy and other partners to remove these dams.
