Vermont Land Trust Brings in Contractors to Help Restore Winooski River Watershed A headwater stream in Vermont’s Winooski River watershed that was constrained by undersized culverts and small dams — causing erosion, limiting water flow and impeding wildlife movement — has been partially restored, the Vermont Land Trust (VLT), based in Montpelier, announced in early December 2025. The rehabilitation project will allow flood waters to pass more safely, protect water quality, wetlands and floodplains and enhance wildlife habitat. To shepherd the project, VLT brought together ecologists, hydrologic design engineers, skilled contractors and restoration experts to assess, design and implement the work. The team of professionals replaced two undersized see WINOOSKI page 14

Winooski Watershed Among Largest in Vt., Covers Multiple Counties WINOOSKI from page 1
culverts with a single, larger “pipe arch” on an unnamed tributary of the Winooski River, the Waterbury Roundabout noted Dec. 15. They also removed a stone dam that was impeding water flow. As a result, the stream can now flow more freely, and the new culvert will allow animals to pass and floodwaters to flow through without damaging the surrounding land or roads. “Though big rivers may draw our attention, much of a watershed consists of small streams high in the headwaters,” said Allaire Diamond, VLT’s ecology and restoration program director, who led the project. “Making sure these headwater streams aren’t constricted helps prevent damaging erosion and water quality issues downstream and maintains habitat for both aquatic and land animals.” The Winooski River watershed is Vermont largest, covering approximately 1,080 sq. mi. and draining four north-central counties as the river flows 90 mi. west to Lake Champlain just north of Burlington. Heavy rains in the state have flooded the river multiple times in recent years. “Focusing on restoration in the headwa-
ters that feed it can reduce flood pulses in a cost-effective way,” Diamond said. “And we hope projects like this can help demonstrate how landowners can protect watershed health on their own land.” Small Streams Have Big Impacts The land where the restoration project was undertaken was originally conserved with the VLT in 2009 and donated to the land trust in late 2024. Located near the Mud Pond Conservation Area on the western edge of Richmond, Vt., the unnamed stream that is recognized as the Winooski’s headwaters flows through wetland and forest, is confined behind small dams and crosses town and private roads on its way to the river. Engineers from Fitzgerald Environmental Associates in Colchester, Vt., visited the site in 2024 to collect data to design the restoration, which will eventually proceed in multiple phases. They identified the stream crossing as the first priority as it was undersized and had washed out in recent floods. The engineers recommended replacing
two existing culverts — one with a 15-in. diameter and other measuring 18-in. — with a larger “pipe arch” made of steel (64-in. by 43-in.) to safely fit the stream during 100year flood levels. The culvert’s wide, “squashed” base allows it to sit in a wider channel, and designers have planned for the culvert bottom to gradually fill in with gravel and soil from upstream. Over time, this creates a natural stream bottom that will aid aquatic animals such as amphibians and small fish in their movement through the watershed. Led by Stephen Hogan of Hogan Excavating in Cabot, Vt., the construction team began work earlier this fall. They started by installing temporary markers along wetland boundaries to ensure those areas would not be disturbed. In addition, Hogan’s crews carefully managed water away from the work area and installed the new culvert before reopening the stream to its natural course. VLT staff worked on site to remove a small stone dam by hand, just downstream of the now-improved stream crossing. They also took out woody invasive species from the stream and floodplain area and planted
native willow stakes and wetland seeds collected from the property in the restoration site. Vermont’s historic drought broke soon after the work was completed, just in time to welcome the stream back to its restored course. “For Vermont Land Trust, this project is just the first in a series of restoration efforts in this small corner of the Winooski watershed,” Diamond said, including the removal of an earthen dam downstream on the property. The nonprofit organization also hopes to address constrictions on a nearby parcel in partnership with neighboring landowners. The Winooski River watershed restoration was funded by the Vermont Clean Water Initiative, while the costs of the design phase were administered by the Mount Ascutney Regional Commission. Funding for the construction phase was administered by Watersheds United Vermont. In addition, the Intervale Center in Burlington, another nonprofit that addresses agricultural needs, donated work crew time to remove the watershed’s woody invasives.

Seymour Officials to Open $60M Elementary School in 2028 The replacement of the current Bungay Elementary School that is planned in Seymour, Conn., could be open for students as early as 2028, Town Selectman Fred Stanek, co-chair of the school’s building committee, announced in a special meeting. Residents overwhelmingly approved building a new elementary school under the same name for $60 million in October’s referendum by a count of 1,744 to 391. The new building will be constructed where the playing fields are now at the site of the existing 71-year-old school. In addition, the old school is due to remain in use during the construction process, CT Post revealed Dec. 14. Stanek said Seymour officials applied to the Connecticut Department of Administrative Services on Dec. 15 for a determination of the reimbursement amount. Now, he hopes the plan will be put on the priority list and go before the state legislature for approval in May or early June 2026. The town’s building committee could expect to review bids from architects as early as its Jan. 13 meeting, with a recommendation on who to hire by March 10, town officials told CT Post. The design process would take 10 to 12 months, which Stanek noted could conclude
in December 2026, allowing for construction to start in February 2027. This would mean the new school could open in the fall of 2028. “I’m optimistic that the timeframe that we’re working with is going to be effective,” he said. If the application is not approved, Seymour municipal officials would have to resubmit by June 30, 2026. Bungay Elementary was originally built in 1954 and, along with Chatfield-LoPresti, is one of two elementary schools in the town. It was last renovated nearly 30 years ago, in 1996, with the addition of a first-grade wing. In 2025, Bungay Elementary numbers 450 students and 70 staff members spread across its kindergarten through 5th grade classrooms. TodayÊs Bungay Elementary Has Become Worn Out Erecting an entirely new building is anticipated to be cheaper than renovating the existing structure to like-new, Stanek said, with the town likely to pay no more than $20 million of its own money outside of the state reimbursements it is likely to receive. Bungay Elementary School has severe maintenance issues that need to be
“...The rebuild of the Bungay school will [almost be] a final chapter in upgrading our four schools to 21st century learning centers” Fred Stanek School Building Committee Co-Chair
addressed, according to an assessment conducted in 2023. For example, it has no universal air conditioning. Some classrooms have exterior window units, and not all of them are effective due to the original single-pane windows and rotting wood frames that have caused seals to crack and air to leak through. Polyethylene foam pool noodles are used in some rooms to fill cracks so as to keep cold air and dirt out. “The [old school] building is just tired,”
Stanek said. Other issues at the decrepit structure include an undersized gymnasium and little room for library space, deteriorating flooring that needs to be replaced and security vulnerabilities due to the building’s out-of-date layout, as evidenced by the cafeteria’s location on the front side of the building and its large window bays. In addition, there is a lack of storage, parking and special education spaces as well. An architect was hired to create a tentative concept plan, which would add a second floor with a smaller footprint. It also would contain new facilities, including shared classroom spaces, a combined library and STEM lab, a larger gym and a sensory room, CT Post noted. “I’d like to say that the rebuild of the Bungay school will [almost be] a final chapter in upgrading our four schools to 21st century learning centers,” Stanek said. Nevertheless, he added, “We’re [still] going to be in very good shape with 21st century learning.” Located northwest of New Haven, the Seymour Public School system also has both a middle and a high school and has an overall population of approximately 2,100 students.
