The report helped formulate the 5-year watershed action plan that will guide local and state environmental efforts within the Deerfield River Watershed over the next five years. The report expresses some of the overall goals of the Executive Office of Environmental Affairs, such as improving water quality, restoring natural flows to rivers, protecting and restoring biodiversity and habitats, improving public access and balanced resource use, improving local capacity, and promoting a shared responsibility for watershed protection and management. The Deerfield River Watershed Assessment Report was developed with input from the Deerfield River Watershed Team and multiple stakeholders including watershed groups, state and federal agencies, Regional Planning Agencies and, of course, the general public from across the Watershed. We appreciate the opportunity to engage such a wide group of expertise and experience as it allows the state to focus on the issues and challenges that might otherwise not be easily characterized. From your input we have identified the following priority issues: • Water Quantity • Water Quality • Fish Communities • Wildlife and Terrestrial Habitat • Open Space • Recreation I commend everyone involved in this endeavor.

  • Native Americans Ol'
    Native Americans ol' Clarendon, Vermont *This is only a report of my early findings. This is subject to charge as new evidence and facts arise. I\rly research has led me to cliscover two groups of Native Americiurs that could have resided in Clarendon and one other that may have simply passed through time to time. The tribe of Native l[mericans that has the highest likelihood of being in Clarendon isi the Mahican, specifically the subdivision Mahican proper. Their territory extended from Poughkeepsie, New York to Deerfield, I\4assachusetts, and extended flrttrest north in Rutland. It is important to mention that tlhey are not to be mistaken with the Mohegan tribes of Connecticut; however, they do have lineage witkr one another. As a side note, the Mahicans have lineage with the Lenape and ['equot. Other names for the Mahicans is as follows: Akochakanen (koquois name that means "Those who,speak a strangertongue"), Canoe Indians (Given by colonists), Hikanagi/Nhilcana (Given by the Shawnee), Laups (Given by the French), Orunges (,Given by a school textbook author, Chauvignerie, who rvas referring to a specific Mahican tribe in 1736), River Indians (Given by the Dutch), and Uragees (Again given by an author, Colden, in reference to a specific tribe of the.Mahicans 1747). Mahicans were hunters of southwestem and western Vermont. lheir langrllge belonged to the linguistic family of the Algonquian, spoken with an r-dialect. Sieldom did they settle anywhere in Vermont to stay due to the fact that they were typically hLunters, hotvever, it is not irnprobable that they had permanent selllements in Clarendon.r Historic territory of the |tdahicans l Swanton, John R., The lndion Tribes of North America,1953 pg.

  • Impacts to Stream Habitat and Wild Trout Populations in Vermont Following Tropical Storm Irene
    Impacts to Stream Habitat and Wild Trout Populations in Vermont Following Tropical Storm Irene Vermont Fish and Wildlife Department Annual Report State: Vermont Project No.: F-36-R-14 Grant Title: Inland Waters Fisheries and Habitat Management Study No. IX Study Title: Aquatic Habitat Conservation and Restoration Period Covered: July 1, 2011 to June 30, 2012 Summary: Damage suffered from Tropical Storm Irene required immediate and in some cases extensive stream channel alteration to protect life and property and rebuild critical transportation infrastructure. However, a significant amount of instream activity was also conducted without proper consultation and oversight or for reasons beyond necessary flood recovery. These activities continued for several months after the flood event and covered a wide area of the central and southern portion of the state. Post-flood activities which were detrimental to aquatic habitat quality and diversity included large scale removal of streambed material and natural wood, berming of streambed materials to raise streambank elevations and the straightening of stream channels. These activities resulted in homogeneous, overwidened stream channels comprised of small substrates and lacking the diversity of habitats, flows and depths necessary to support robust aquatic populations. As fish population recovery and fisheries management options will be dependant on aquatic habitat quality and complexity, the Vermont Department of Fish and Wildlife conducted an assessment of post-flood aquatic habitats in selected watersheds. This partial assessment estimated a total of 77 miles of stream with major degradation of aquatic habitat resulting from post-flood stream channel alteration activities. Long-term monitoring studies in Vermont indicate that, in the absence of post-flood channel alterations, wild trout populations generally recover within 2-4 years.

  • A Guide to the Hiking Capital of Southern Vermont
    A guide to the Hiking Capital of Southern Vermont 1 Introduction Welcome to Mendon, known throughout Vermont as the “Gateway to the Green Mountains.” Mendon is blessed with the best mountain scenery in southern Vermont. Killington Peak (Vermont’s second highest summit), Mendon Peak (the highest summit in Vermont without a marked trail to the top), Blue Ridge (overlooking the Otter Creek Valley) and Bald Mountain and East Mountain (both overlooking Rutland City and beyond) are all within our town boundary. Nearby Pico Peak further adds to the dramatic mountain skyline that we all enjoy. Over 90% of our town is forested and over 50% is protected in the Green Mountain National Forest, three Vermont State forests (Coolidge, Aitken and Jeffords) and the Rutland City forest. Hiking trails abound in Mendon, from the world-famous Long Trail/Appalachian Trail corridor to casual saunters like the Tamarack Notch loop to opportunities for bushwhacking up untrammeled summits like Mendon Peak. You can understand why we proclaim Mendon to be the hiking capital of southern Vermont. This ”Hike Mendon” trail guide is your ticket to mountain adventure. It is not intended as a comprehensive tenth-of-a-mile by tenth-of-a-mile trail guide. You will not find GPS coordinates anywhere. Many sources available in print and on-line do all that very well. Rather it is a guidebook that will help you find trail heads, alert you to where the trail goes left or right or straight up and what to expect in different seasons, including winter. There are also sections on hiking our snowmobile and back country ski trails and descriptions on where to start your bushwhack for those trail-less summits.

  • Mohawk Trail West Ch3 Natural Resources
    CHAPTER 3 Natural Resources long the Mohawk Trail Scenic Byway lies a wealth of important natural resources. Among these resources are: the Deerfield and Hoosic Rivers, which contain important trout habitat; the Glacial Potholes in AShelburne Falls, one of the largest collection of such potholes in the country; the Natural Bridge in North Adams, the only bridge in North America created by the erosive forces of water; and miles of northern hardwood forests along the Byway corridor, including old growth forests in the Mohawk Trail State Forest. The Byway also includes other geologic, flora and fauna, water resources that help make the Mohawk Trail Scenic Byway experience unique. The corridor’s natural resources contribute to the dramatic scenery viewed from the Byway, and attract recreational tourists seeking to experience the corridor’s wildness. This chapter of the Corridor Management Plan provides a gen- eral inventory and overview of the Byway’s natural resources, in- cluding its geology, soils, water resources, and rare species habitat areas. The purpose is to highlight the Byway’s primary natural and environmental assets. The chapter also discusses potential issues that could affect the quality of these resources over time, especially if the Byway experiences an increase in tourist and vehicle traffic. The chapter closes with a series of recommendations for protect- ing, maintaining, and enhancing the Byway’s natural resources. ago, a period of mountain building Geologic Resources (also known as an orogeny) called the Taconic Orogeny created the Taconic Geologic History Hills of western Berkshire County.
