The WEF provides a site for climate/environmental experts to educate students and the public on climate change mitigation strategies, skills, and how to be better stewards of our local and regional forested environment. A rustic structure and trails enable both the study of the habitat, and a site for public education on the impacts of climate change, while also serving as a passive recreation opportunity for the community. This Forest provides a living classroom and laboratory for testing and gathering data for students, researchers, and partners. The interdisciplinary educational forest encourages exploration of the complex connections between human activities, land use, and forest ecosystems. By studying forest health, habitat conservation, ecosystem services, and carbon sequestration, this site fosters understanding of how human actions impact natural processes. For a description of how WEF came to be, read the history about the Municipal Vulnerability Preparedness 2.0 (MVP 2.0) project.

Or visit our weather station (external link) Hired by Select Board Description The highway department is responsible for maintenance of town roads - about 30 miles of paved roads, 25 miles of unpaved roads, and 5 miles of unmaintained roads. Maintenance includes plowing snow, tree removal, grading dirt roads, mud mitigation, mowing, drainage and culverts. Notably, this does not include Route 9. Information With a small crew and dozens of miles of rural roads, we all know how reliant Windsor is on having passable roads. The highway crew often works late nights, early mornings, and weekends to keep the roads open. But they prioritize the biggest roads with the most traffic and residents. While they aim to plow snow and respond to problems within 24 hours, the reality is that sometimes it takes longer. If you have a special need or there is an unusual circumstance, feel free to contact the Highway department, but please be patient. Mud in the spring can be particularly challenging. They are aware of wet areas, and are working on improving drainage, adding stone, etc. But the reality is that there is only so much that can be done for some roads. In 2021, the Select Board approved a new set of Snow Policies [pdf]. Permits Some kinds of work may require road related permits Driveway permit [pdf]: Required for installing driveway "aprons". $20 fee. Trench permit [pdf]: Required for digging trenches. $50 fee. Checks payable to "Town of Windsor" Road Closures and Construction These are the sections of roads are not plowed in the winter months. Signs will be placed at points of closure to alert drivers beyond that point.
