Plainfield Rain Garden Contruction

Taking Action,

Friends of the Winooski River partnered with the Plainfield Conservation Commission to construct a rain garden in the village center to capture stormwater run-off that had previously eroded a channel down to the Winooski River.

In August 2009 volunteers came out to dig out the rain garden and plant the initial round of plants. In 2010 we returned with additional plants to fill in spots.

This is an ongoing project with Friends of the Winooski River and the Plainfield Conservation Commission. We're always looking for volunteers to help out.

Burlington Winooski River Clean-Up

Taking Action,

Students from UVM's Green House and the Natural Resources Graduate School came out on Saturday, September 18 to help pull trash out of the Winooski and off its banks. Items included a computer, several tires, two bikes, a big chemical storage drum seen in the canoe and much more. The clean-up is part of Friends of the Winooski River's Annual River Clean-up that takes place each year.

Year Round Stream

Concerns,

Our yearround stream dried up during this spring and summer dryspell, but with the recent rains, it is now running several inches above normal.

We use the stream for watering our gardens and greenhouse and it was certainly difficult to keep some plants going this year.
