In the fall of 2003, the Kennebec County Soil and Water Conservation District began a survey of the perennial road crossings in the West Branch to determine where fish passage blockages, non-point source pollution, and channel alterations were occurring. Four students from Unity College, Megan Weber, Matt Soucy, Marc Vergato, and Dax Telepciak, volunteered to survey the road crossings above Branch Pond. Here they are getting the culvert outlet height on the Martins Woods Road. Photo by M. Laser October 2003.
