Ipswich River Association: Re-Naturalizing a River

Conservation, Events

Short notice, but it looks like a great talk.  Please RSVP to 978-412-8200.

 

Show Me Your River World Fish Migration Day Presentation

Where: Riverbend, Ipswich River HQ
When: Thursday, May 3rd 6:30 PM to 8 PM

Alicia Pulsifer Heyburn, originally of Ipswich, spent five weeks on a solo bicycle journey along the Rhine River. Along the way, she met with people working to improve river conditions for migratory fish. At each stop she’d ask, “Show me your river”, and encourage participation in World Fish Migration Day, held globally on April 21, 2018.
Now back in Ipswich, where similar restoration efforts are underway, Alicia will be giving a presentation at the Ipswich River Watershed Association about the benefits of re-naturalizing a river to reduce flooding, improve water quality and improve connectivity for migratory species.

SPIROS Riverside Cleanup: Saturday April 28, 2018, 8 am to 10 am

Conservation, Events, Service Events

*SPIROS CLEANUP*

• This is kind of last minute, but we put together a riverbank cleanup at the shad fishing spot known as “Spiro’s” in North Andover on Saturday, 4/28/18 at 8:00 AM.  

• Coffee, donuts, trash bags & gloves will be provided.

• This is the private property of Nancy Chippendale’s Dance Studio, so we need to dispose of the collected trash ourselves.  The easiest way to do this is to ask everyone to fill and bring home just one bag of trash.  We can’t leave anything onsite.

• It’s important the owners of the dance studio see anglers positively — they could easily post the back of their parking lot and end our access.

• Saturday morning is one of the busiest days for the studio so the owners are asking us if we could please car pool to limit our presence.  Please make transportation arrangements with your friends.  Ashland Street is a good parking spot within a block of the site.

• You might want to bring your rod, the run will surely be going by this date.

Freshwater fishing license needed here.

Special Note from Eric Roach:  If you are interested in learning how to fish this spot, this is your perfect opportunity to meet guys with many years of experience at Spiro’s.
Directions

We hope we get a turnout to match last weekend’s cleanup at Rocks Village.
