Project goals were to reduce the formation of ice jams and alleviate flooding impacts in the Town of Jay. The work provided additional benefits: increased buffers along State Route 9N to absorb floods and ice and increased aquatic and riparian habitat.
That's A Wrap!
We recently wrapped up the fifth year of our watershed tours and wanted to take the time to reflect on another successful year of this program.
