Join Sebago Trout Unlimited for our free Climate Conversations event at Bissell Brothers in Portland, Maine. Dr. Karen Wilson, an associate research professor with the University of Southern Maine (USM), will present her research on juvenile alewives and their habitat on the Kennebec River. Dr. Wilson has extensive experience studying river herring in Maine and the impacts of dam removal on their habitat.

We will also hear from Steve Brooke from the Kennebec Valley Chapter of TU, and Matt Streeter, president of the Maine Chapter of TU. Steve will provide an update on the status of the remaining lower Kennebec River dams, and Matt will discuss the impacts that strong alewife populations have on the local environment and fisheries.

It will be a great opportunity to enjoy great beer and food, see some friends, and learn more about this important topic and an amazing river. We’ll also have swag from Trident Fly Fishing.

This event is free to the public, but we ask that you sign up via Eventbrite to help us with headcount and planning. If you'd like to join or donate to Sebago TU, you can do so on at SebagoTU.org.
