This project was funded in part by a Vermont Watershed Grant.
Management recommendations: The CISMA recommends a multi-year mechanical and chemical invasive management strategy, focused along Route 9 and in downtown Brattleboro to target oriental bittersweet, buckthorn, and knotweed invasive plants. This management strategy should also include Early Detection and Rapid Response for invasives that are new to our area including Japanese stiltgrass.
