This week on St. Johnsbury Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram’s Outdoor Edge, we’re following the Wild Ammonoosuc River and looking at what happens when a nearly century-old dam comes down.
Gary Moore talks with Rebecca Budd of the Connecticut River Conservancy about the planned removal of the Wild Ammonoosuc Dam in Landaff, New Hampshire. Rebecca explains why the dam is being removed, the work involved in restoring a free-flowing river, and what reconnecting miles of cold-water habitat could mean for brook trout, wildlife, and the health of the watershed.
Then, for our Summer Activities Report, Josh talks with Todd Holt about a problem that can turn a good hike into a mighty long day: sprained ankles. They discuss hiking safety, preparing before heading out, what to do when someone gets hurt, and ways to reduce your chances of needing help miles from the trailhead.
