May 24th | World Fish Migration Day at the Mianus River Fishway!

Greenwich Celebrates World Fish Migration Day
at Mianus River Fishway


The Greenwich Conservation Commission will hold an open house at the Mianus
Pond Dam Fishway on Saturday, May 24, 2014 from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. in
celebration of World Fish Migration Day.   On this day, Greenwich will join
with the State of Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental
Protection, The Nature Conservancy, and Princeton Hydro and other partners
throughout Connecticut as part of this world wide salute to fish migration.

Conservation Commission staff and volunteer fishway monitors will be on
hand to answer questions about the fishway and the natural history of the
fish that utilize it.  The public is invited to drop in anytime during the
hours posted above to view one of the truly amazing natural resource
wonders in Greenwich – the annual river herring migration.  This is a great
activity for families and kids of all ages.
