When Hillsides Move

Water begins its journey on hillsides and uplands. This session explores how geology, soil conditions, drainage, and intense rainfall can destabilize slopes an trigger landslides.

We will discuss why landslides occur, what conditions increase risk, and how sediment begins it's movement through the watershed.

Join Emma Myrick of Vermont DEC's Geological Survey program for a discussion on landslides and more on Wednesday, September 9th at 6:00 pm.

Hosted by the Town of Hardwick, CCNRCD, and the Jeudevine library.

Light snacks will be served.

No registration needed. Feel free to reach out with any questions.
