We are pleased to announce the release of the WUV Design and Implementation Grant. WUV was awarded a Vermont Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) Design and Implementation Block Grant to distribute $500,000 to watershed groups and partner organizations for design and implementation of clean water projects over the next two years. All project work and reporting must be complete by October 31, 2021.

Watershed groups and Partners are invited to the WUV Fall meeting on December 7, 2019 at the Waterbury Town Offices in Waterbury!

Thanks to a DEC partnership train-the-trainer grant, WUV teamed up with Watershed Consulting and AES Consulting to present two trainings on stormwater project management for watershed groups and conservation districts. The trainings were in June of 2018 in St. Albans, Vermont and July of 2018 in Rutland, Vermont.

I had the pleasure of joining Michele Braun, Friends of the Winooski River, and Mary Russ, White River Partnership, on the Dave Gram show on WDEV this on Friday, August 24th.

Watersheds United Vermont held two worshops on stormwater management for watershed groups and conservation districts in conjunction with Becky Tharp from Watershed Consulting Associates and Ann Smith from AES Consultants (formerly Friends of the Winooski River) - one on June 30th in St. Albans and the other on July 10th in Rutland. More than 30 watershed professionals participated in the trainings spanning all four of Vermont's major watersheds - Lake Champlain, Connecticut River, Lake Memphremagog and Hudson River drainages.

WUV's spring meeting on April 2, 2018 and the Vermont Law School had 53 participants from watershed groups, Conservation Districts, State and Federal Agencies, RPC's and other partner organizations.

WUV is pleased to be working with Becky Tharp of Watershed Consulting Associates and Ann Smith of AES Consulting to provide stormwater management training to watershed groups and conservation districts. We will offer two half-day trainings (one in the northwest part of Vermont and one TBD) at the end of June/early July. The intention of the training is to expand groups’ ability to manage stormwater projects in your watershed.

Please join us for the WUV Spring Meeting. April 3, 2018. 8:30 - 3:30 at the Vermont Law School, South Royalton.
