GREENSBORO – The Watershed Stewards of Greensboro and the Upper Lamoille have presented the first Streamwise Award to Karl Stein and Judy Carpenter of Greensboro Bend for the quality of the vegetative buffer that has been allowed to develop on their land along the Lamoille. Stein and Carpenter said they were surprised because, “we have done very little.” The couple heard about the award on the anniversary of their wedding which took place 44 years ago on the same property where they live.
If interested in scheduling a Streamwise assessment of property, contact Emily Cayer at [email protected]. Additional information can also be found at streamwisechamplain.org. A Streamwise assessment recommends steps a property owner can take to enhance land and mitigate flood risk where land abuts a river. It also gives a property owner access to additional resources to help them with the recommended improvements.
