World Fish Migration Day Celebrated at Northwest Park

OTHER EDUCATION & OUTREACH PROJECTS
The Connecticut Chapter of The Nature Conservancy (TNC) received a grant from LFSWS toward hosting of a World Fish Migration Day event on May 21, 2024 at Northwest Park in Windsor. The purpose was to showcase migratory fish and efforts to restore free-flowing streams across the Long Island Sound region. World Fish Migration Day is celebrated every two years globally. This public event had about 100 attendees. It offered a Farmington River Walk and offered information from non-profit and local partners. A documentary film, Reconnected: Restoring the Rivers of Long Island Sound was shown, followed by a discussion by former dam owners, river experts, and community advocates on the topic of reconnecting river environs.
