Field trip to 2016 Saxtons River riparian restoration site
ROCKINGHAM, Vt. – In May 2016, the Windham County Natural Resources Conservation District worked with the Rockingham Conservation Commission and local volunteers, including Americorps members, to plant several hundred native trees along the Saxtons River in Rockingham. The site was a FEMA buyout, a 3.4-acre parcel that had three mobile homes on it before it was flooded during Hurricane Irene in 2011. FEMA wanted to prevent rebuilding on a flood-prone site, so they bought the land from the owners and gave it to the town, with the stipulation that nothing be built there. Some of the volunteers had lost their houses during Irene. The planting was done to improve wildlife habitat, help stabilize the soil in future flooding of the site, and help discourage the growth of invasive Japanese knotweed.
