<b>- <a href="https://maineaudubon.org/news/events/stream-smart-workshop-fort-kent/" target="_blank">April 3rd</a> at the Forestry Department at UMaine Ft. Kent<br>

<p class="MsoNormal">These workshops will be helpful to all professionals who are responsible for road-stream crossings including contractors, road commissioners, public works departments, conservation commissions, engineers, planners, land trusts, watershed
groups, and private landowners. Participants in these workshops can also receive recertification credit for the Maine DEP Voluntary Contractor Certification Program, continuing education credits through the Society of American Foresters, and professional development
hours for professional engineers.<br>
<br>
We will also be hosting a <b><a href="https://maineaudubon.org/news/events/stream-smart-workshop-topsham/" target="_blank">Stream Smart for Municipalities workshop</a></b> on <b>March 26th</b> at the <b>Topsham Town Hall</b>. This workshop is specifically aimed
at informing municipalities of the value of Stream Smart crossings as well as providing information about funding that is currently available to help offset the costs of these culvert replacement projects.<br>
<br>
Please share this announcement and the link to <b><a href="https://maineaudubon.org/projects/stream-smart/stream-smart-workshops/" target="_blank">Stream Smart Workshops page</a></b>, which includes registration information, with appropriate staff, post the
