This summer, Project SHARE was awarded 2022 EBTJV project funding and has already completed implementation of a 0.4 mi restoration project on the Narraguagus River. This project is in some of the best of the best riverine habitat for brook trout in the Downeast Maine watersheds.

This is one of four 2022 EBTJV/NFHAP funded projects.  The National Fish Habitat Partnership, with the US Fish and Wildlife Service, funded $172,598 in brook trout projects in CT, MD, ME, and VT. The projects will remove 3 barriers, reconnect 28 upstream miles, and improve 0.4 miles of stream. We will highlight others in future newsletters.

The National Fish Habitat Partnership recently announced its annual "Waters to Watch" program, and we are proud that a brook trout related project is featured. The project is the Upper White River, VT Large Wood Habitat Restoration Project, by Trout Unlimited. The project, funded in 2020 (partially by EBTJV), is in partnership with the U.S. Forest Service to improve brook trout habitat with large wood additions in 5 miles of stream.

A prior project by the White River Partnership (also highlighted in Waters to Watch in 2012) addressed flood- and flood recovery-related habitat modifications on four tributaries to the Upper White River in Rochester, Vermont following tropical storm Irene.
