Online Culvert Conditions Assessment Training

November 13 @ 6:00 pm - 8:30 pm

Many of our road-stream crossings are either “undersized,” resulting in erosion, flooding, or washouts, or are “perched” and prevent fish passage. The Culvert Conditions Assessment protocol provides a non-technical rapid assessment to help identify which road-stream crossings need repair and prioritize culvert replacement.

These sessions are instructed by Scott Jackson, a UMass Extension Associate Professor and leader in the development of road-stream crossing standards and assessment survey protocols. Learn about the issues with current road-stream crossings, especially in the face of climate change. Develop the knowledge and tools needed to assess your municipality’s culverts. Participants who complete the training will be certified Lead Observers for the North Atlantic Aquatic Connectivity Culvert Conditions Module.

Funding provided by the Executive Office of Energy and Environmental Affairs (EEA) Municipal Vulnerability Program (MVP). These trainings are offered as part of the Lanesborough Regional MVP Action Grant, the Western Massachusetts Unpaved Roads project.
