Quashnet River Restoration Session
East Falmouth, Massachusetts 02536
Hi Everyone !
 
The Falmouth Road Race is this coming Sunday.  Last year this race was held on the third Sunday of August as well.
I spent two and one half hours trying to get home following our restoration session last year.  That is punishment.  
 
As a result I would like to change the date of our August Session on the river to this Coming Saturday, August 17.
We will meet at the same time and place as always and our work will consist of placing large wood clusters in Section 7.
 
Martin Road in Waquoit at 9:00 am.  Please bring your waders.  The rivers' stage height is back within the normal flow rate and installing the logs will be quite easy to accomplish.
 
Hope to see you there.
 
Francis




For over 40 years, Trout Unlimited volunteers have been working on and restoring the Quashnet River.  The river was once a “destination” trout stream for native brook trout.  Unfortunately, the river was dammed and converted into cranberry bogs.  The hard work to get the river flowing as it once did is paying off.  Today, over 300 native brook trout inhabit the restored river.

Cape Cod Trout Unlimited and the work done on the Quashnet was recently recognized when the Mashpee Wildlife Refuge was selected as one of Trout Unlimited’s  Thirty Great American Places.

Come on down and help with the restoration!  Cape Cod Trout Unlimited members normally meet the third Sunday of the month from 9:00 a.m. until noon at the Martin Road Gate.  Bring waders, work gloves, sunglasses/safety glasses and a big desire to give back to the sport we all love!
