Replace five undersized culverts, restore riparian forest buffers and improve instream conditions in the Warner River Watershed in southern New Hampshire. Project will develop a cost-effective and replicable model of Resilient Riparian Forest Management by engaging landowners and foresters in climate-adaptive riparian buffer restoration at precision-targeted sites, while holistically improving habitat for wild brook trout and dramatically reducing flood risk at high priority flood hazard sites.
