How do you build and maintain erosion-resistant access roads, especially in this time of increasingly powerful storm events? Why avoid using culverts on forest roads? How far apart should erosion control structures be placed, and what kind is best suited to the site? Learn about this and more with Vermont Family Forests Executive Director David Brynn during a site visit to the Seth Hill Waterworks in Lincoln (a parcel owned by the Town of Bristol). Using cost-share funds from a Vermont Department of Environmental Conservation grant program designed to reduce phosphorous pollution in Lake Champlain, Vermont Family Forests recently oversaw the addition of 35 erosion control structures on the property’s two permanent truck roads.

During this outing, we’ll walk these two roads and talk about the process of assessing and constructing erosion control to ensure that forest roads comply fully with Vermont’s Acceptable Management Practices for Logging Professionals.
