The Upper Clyde River wetlands are exceptional in terms of their diversity of natural communities and the many rare plant species found here. These wetlands also contribute to overall water quality by absorbing flood waters and filtering sediment and nutrient inputs from the surrounding uplands. In coordination with VT Agency of Natural Resources, NVDA, and area landowners, NorthWoods has completed a two-year mapping project of the upper wetlands, issuing the Clyde River Wetlands Natural Community Mapping Project Final Report. The report summarizes survey work, details types and condition of community types found in the area, and includes recommendations for safeguarding the watershed. Read the report.
