Williston students work to improve watershed health
Partnering with the Town of Williston and Vermont Fish and Wildlife, 5th and 6th grade students from Williston Central School planted over 150 trees along Allen Brook for the service component of their Stream Monitoring and Stewardship program in late May. As these native trees mature, they will provide valuable food and habitat for wildlife, stabilize the streambank, and shade the brook, which will help keep water temperatures cool.
