The White River Partnership is co-sponsoring a Rivers & Roads Tier 2 training event at the USFS Ranger Station (99 Ranger Road) in Rochester. Tier 2 is a two-day training and is both indoors and outdoor. Each day will be indoors for slide shows and class exercises and river flume table demonstrations and outdoors on rivers and streams to observe in the field what we’ve seen and discussed indoors. These trainings are focused on flood response and will give a better understanding of how river dynamics work, and also what’s appropriate and what’s not appropriate in flood response.  Open to all municipal staff, state staff, construction contractors, engineers, consultants, regional planning commission staff, conservation districts, watershed groups and others working with communities on river and road related issues. Please register here.  Please note, this training is geared toward road crews and people working on the rivers and is not a general rivers training. DEC would welcome folks from watershed groups/districts  if they are involved in work with a municipality, work on the rivers with restoration, and/or will be helping in their community after a flood.
