Join the Friends for their annual dinner at the Cider House in Waterbury.

Colin McCaffrey will provide the music and the folks at the Cider Housewill serve up a great buffet! The evening starts at 5:30 and will conclude around 8:30.

The speaker will be Rob Evans, the River Corridor and Floodplain Manager for the Vermont Agency of Natural Resources. His talk will focus on what Vermont has learned from TS Irene.

Rob will provide an overview of river and floodplain related initiatives since Tropical Storm Irene devastated Vermont in 2011. In particular, he will highlight important regulatory, incentive, education, and outreach initiatives that will impact how our river and floodplain resources are managed going forward. The presentation will highlight the new State Floodplain Rule, the new Stream Alteration Rule, the recently amended Emergency Relief and Assistance Fund Rule, Statewide River Corridor Mapping, Flood Resilient Communities Program, and the Rivers and Roads Training Program.
