Below the dam the West River widens out and runs green past Townshend, under the long single span of the Scott Bridge. Winot Work property maintenance takes care of properties along that stretch year-round — mowing, trimming, and edging while the valley is green, then plowing, shoveling, and sanding once the notch starts funneling snow down it. Cleanups handle the flood-line litter in spring and the leaf drop in November. Weather comes hard through this valley and leaves just as fast, so the job is about being there at the right hour rather than the convenient one. A cleared drive at first light and a lawn cut square in August are both worth the early start.
