Crawford Brook Floodplain Restoration Project
In October 2025, the Memphremagog Watershed Association (MWA) completed the Crawford Brook Restoration Project in Newport. This project takes on a holistic approach to addressing water quality and habitat degradation issues by not only tackling the symptoms but also the sources. Project goals aimed to stabilize two sediment sources, restore floodplain connection and stream habitat complexity, and improve floodwater storage capacity across Crawford Brook.
