Batten Kill To Get Funding

A Vermont conservation group plans to join in a cost-sharing agreement

with the U.S. Forest Service to help improve trout habitat in the Batten Kill. “For years, scientists have puzzled over the declining numbers of trout in the river that runs through Dorset, Manchester and Arlington before entering New York state. Part of the answer may lie in providing more shelter and cover in the river habitat, [Cynthia] Browning said.” Andrew McKeever in the Vermont Times Argus.
