Details

Phase 1 of our Mill River Restoration Project is now complete! To celebrate, we're inviting you to see the newly constructed pools, riffles spawning areas and other exciting trout habitat just installed in the past few weeks. We're excited to see this section of river come to life after years of planning and with your support and contributions!

Join us for a ribbon cutting ceremony and stream walk on Saturday September 26^th at 11:00 am - we'll be getting started at the Covenant Church parking lot located at 1 Sport Hill Road in Easton. Bring your families and your fishing rods - we’ll have a few fly rods on hand for demonstrations as well.

This nearly half-mile stretch of river along Congress Street in Easton and Fairfield has been totally transformed by this amazing project. You will see eight new/enhanced pools, boulders, riffles and improved spawning habitat. We can't wait to show you the impact you've helped make possible!

We're also proud to announce that we have plans to keep this important work going - we're planning to plant trees and complete additional restoration projects in the coming weeks, months and years ahead! We're counting on your ongoing support to keep up the momentum.

Six Nutmeg Trout Unlimited board members have generously pledged to match all donations up to $4,500 to support these efforts.
