About the Event
Join John Magee and Jarad Lamy, Fish Habitat Biologists with N.H. Fish and Game, to learn about the benefits and the process of strategically adding wood to streams.
We will meet at Distant Hill Gardens at 507 March Hill Road, Walpole NH, for a short overview of how and why to use Strategic Wood Addition (SWA) to improve instream aquatic organism habitat. We'll then visit a 2-mile section of Great Brook, a first-order stream in the highlands of Walpole NH, that Trout Unlimited is in the process of restoring using the addition of large instream wood.
The workshop is Free. Registration is Required.
What to bring
Note: There will be a quarter-mile hike over moderately steep and rocky terrain to get to Great Brook. Appropriate footwear is recommended.
