A River Reborn
Last summer, a new channel-spanning structure replaced an undersized culvert where Skinner Road meets the high-quality waters of the North Branch. The site is upstream from previous culvert upgrades at Dymond and Skinner Roads and enhances the overall health of the stream. The project resolves issues like erosion from the road, velocity barriers to fish, and improves habitat for aquatic wildlife, including brook and rainbow trout, wood turtles, and mottled sculpin.
