\n\tIn January of 2024, Lake Champlain Sea Grant\u2019s Hazard Resilience Team partnered with Northwest Regional Planning Commission<\/a>, Vermont Department of Environmental Conservation<\/a>, The Nature Conservancy<\/a>, Missisquoi River Basin Association<\/a>, Franklin County Natural Resource Conservation District<\/a> and Friends of Northern Lake Champlain<\/a> to host a flood resilience workshop for Franklin County municipal officials. There were 17 attendees from towns throughout the county. The program included exploration of river dynamics using the flume table \u2013 a river modeling tool \u2013 and a floodplain mapping activity.<\/p>\n

\n\tLake Champlain Sea Grant and The Nature Conservancy led the flume table portion of the program. Participants explored how rivers behave and respond to human impact through observation, inquiry, and a hands-on building activity. A participant shared, \u201cit was a really valuable and informative experience! It was also great to connect with other community members in my area of service.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
