A partnership between state and federal agencies and Windham Regional Career Center has allowed the Vern-Mont Farm LLC in Vernon to become the first farm in Windham County to benefit from a productive program
sweeping across the state.

Southeastern VT - The West River Watershed Alliance will begin its sixth annual Water Quality Monitoring Program (WQMP) on May 31st with a pot-luck, raffle-drawing and volunteer training session at the Townshend Dam Recreation Area in Townshend.  The WRWA trains over twenty volunteers every summer to collect water samples from over twenty monitoring sites on the West, Williams and Saxtons Rivers and the Whetstone Brook in southeastern Vermont. Volunteers bring their samples to one of two drop-off sites where they are picked up and transported to La Rosa Lab in Waterbury, VT for analysis. Mostly, the monitoring parameters indicate where the streams and rivers could be suffering from bacterial and/or nutrient pollution.
