KIDS AND FAMILIES WELCOME!

Sea Lamprey are on their way back up the Norwalk River - and you're invited to come see these mysterious, marvelous creatures up close with a guided tour of their spawning sites this Wednesday in observation of World Fish Migration Day!

Watch a quick video of lamprey building a spawning nest.


Join us at Merwin Meadows Park at 5:30 p.m. and we'll hit the trail! If you have them, bring waders, boots, or water shoes - feel free to stick to the trail as well if you'd like! 

Blocked by dams for over a century, sea lamprey are a critical part of the recovering ecosystem in the Norwalk River and a sign of the impact all our conservation work is making! 
 
We'll discuss the importance of these mysterious fish, take a look at some spawning sites and discuss future restoration projects to connect even more habitat for wild trout and migratory fish species like Sea Lamprey and River Herring.
