About This Event

Join our Regional Land Trust Fellow, Clara, for a series of guided walks during the annual alewife migration season at Mill Brook Preserve in Westbrook!

Dates:

  • May 23 10:00 am - 12:00 pm
  • May 27 2:00 pm - 4:00 pm
  • May 30 11:00 am - 1:00 pm
  • June 2 2:00 pm - 4:00 pm
  • June 6 11:00 am - 1:00 pm

During the events, Clara will discuss the significance of alewives to our ecosystem and the challenges they face during their spawning run. Attendees will learn about the significance of the Presumpscot River and Mill Brook for migrating fish and the importance of river stewardship. Clara will also share methods used by local scientists at the Gulf of Maine Research Institute to collect ecological data on these fish during their migration.

Registration is required. To help us continue providing outreach events at our preserves, these events have a suggested donation of $10 per attendee. If this is a financial burden for you and/or your family, we strongly encourage you to register and join us anyway; no one will be turned away from this event for lack of funds.

This event is open to all ages, but anyone under 18 must attend with a parent or guardian. The loop to the Southern Viewing Pool is over two miles long with uneven, hilly terrain. We will meet for the events at the Perry Court trailhead.
