Only six rivers in northern New England are currently protected, with two already in Vermont. While a bill for the Nulhegan and Paul Stream stalled in the House, community efforts are building momentum for the Clyde River. These rivers offer vital habitats for wildlife, world-class fishing, and paddling adventures, with local groups leading conservation efforts. The success of earlier additions like the Upper Missisquoi and Trout Rivers—known for their beauty, geology, and historic sites—shows how federal designation can boost tourism and protect ecological health, all while empowering communities to steer their own conservation future.
