Get out on the land with the Vermont Process-Based Restoration Network

Jud Kratzer, Fisheries Biologist with Vermont Department of Fish & Wildlife, has been implementing and studying strategic woody addition projects in Vermont for over a decade and has documented significant increases in brook trout populations at strategic wood addition sites. Visit a section of the upper Waits River with Jud to observe a completed SWA project and discuss wood placement and techniques, permitting, site selection, and more! This project was completed in 2024 and added large wood to 2.7 river miles, improving fish and wildlife habitat structure, bank stability, channel roughness, and floodplain access. This event is geared towards a technical audience, but anyone interested is welcome to attend.
