Pawcatuck River Restoration – A Fishy Perspective

Chris Fox of the Wood Pawcatuck Watershed Association will take you on a virtual tour of the recent and upcoming improvements to the Pawcatuck River. From the perspective of fish traveling upstream, you will learn how the recent dam removals and fish ladders are helping make their journey to Worden Pond possible for the first time in over 200 years. Along the way, you'll learn that what's good for the fish tends to be great for people who recreate on the river. Join us for this free lecture and get the inside scoop straight from the Fox, the executive director of the Wood Pawcatuck Watershed Association and the project manager of the historic Pawcatuck River Fish Passage projects.
