Why Did the Brook Trout Cross the Road? An Introduction to Fish- and Flood-Friendly Stream Crossings

Thanks to a team of conservation partners, an undersized culvert on Falls Brook at Hale Hill Road in Swanzey has just been replaced with a new, flood-resilient and wildlife-friendly open-bottom arch crossing. This restoration project re-connects more than 20 miles of stream habitat for wild brook trout, dace, and other aquatic wildlife. Join Trout Unlimited stream restoration specialists for an introduction to improving road-stream crossings for fish passage and flood resilience, with special focus on the project at Falls Brook. 7 to 8:30 p.m. in the Putnam Science Center at Keene State College (Room 126).
