Last Saturday Dr. Sarah Kelly and Cavendish VT community partners taught students about river corridor planning from the perspective of recreators, watershed planners, and dragonflies. The lesson guided students from Greven Field, through areas of the town still in flood recovery, to the bank of the river by the power and waste water treatment plants. Students learned about the impact of flooding on the river, town, and ecosystem. They created maps to document the perspective of one of the stakeholders. The students will continue their work with community partners through Dr. Charis Boke’s course ‘Anthropology of Disaster.’
