Description: Workers along the Connecticut River as it passes through Fairlee, Vermont, United States. During the summer of 2002 a restoration project aimed at restoring a severely eroded riverbank utilized overgrown Christmas trees to create a revetment at the work site. The trees were eventually planted with various aquatic plant life to help further trap sediment and prevent erosion. See [1]
