Lamoille River Kayak Expedition

September 7, 2019  in Conservation Commission

Rachel and Renaud kayaked a section of the Lamoille to scope out environmental concerns and trash. There is considerable erosion next to Highway 16 but no trash. So there is no need for a river clean-up. We should do another event when the water level of the river is higher.
