The Road-Stream Crossing Program focuses on habitat fragmentation and fish passage barriers created by roads, dams, culverts, and pipes. Our goal is to unblock upstream passages and monitor erosion and failing infrastructures that can damage the unique ecosystem of coldwater tributaries.

INVESTING IN OUR COLDWATER TRIBUTARIES, CREEKS, BROOKS & STREAMS

In 2018, in partnership with the Clinton River Coldwater Conservation Program (CRCCP), our volunteers were able to survey more road-stream crossing locations than ever before. Bridges, culverts, and pipes can cause problems for local fish by blocking upstream passages and can develop erosion issues that contribute large amounts of sediment to the river.
