Winter Climate Change Series: Crooked River

  • Bissell Brothers Brewing Company 38 Resurgam Place Portland, ME, 04102 United States (map)

Join Sebago Trout Unlimited for our Winter Climate Change Series Presentation at Bissell Brothers in Portland. Jim Pellerin, a Biologist for the Sebago Region with the Maine Department of Inland Fish and Wildlife (MDIFW), will be presenting on the importance of the Crooked River watershed, and Lauren Pickford, Planning and Land Use Manager of Lakes Environmental Association (LEA), will be speaking on the projects the LEA has planned for the Crooked over the next few years. It will be a great opportunity to enjoy some great beer and food, see some friends, and learn a little more about this amazing river.

Sebago Lake is one of only four wild landlocked salmon original watersheds and the Crooked represents 99% of the Sebago watershed's spawning habitat for salmon. Unfortunately, there are threats to the watershed, including climate change and drought conditions in recent years which stress the salmon and make fish passage more challenging. Come learn more about this amazing fishery and how we can protect it!

This event is free to the public but we ask that you sign up via Eventbrite to help us with headcount and planning.

Thank you to our sponsors of this event - Bissell Brothers and Orvis!
