Connection Between Trees and Trout Oct. 12

Past event
Oct 12, 2016, 7:30 PM

Windham Regional Woodlands Association presents a talk by Vermont State Representative David L. Deen, Chairperson of the House Committee on Fish, Wildlife, & Water Resources and
Upper Valley River Steward of the Connecticut River Watershed Council. Representative Deen will explain the inseparable connection between trees and trout.

You will learn that it is basically a story of the transfer of energy that
starts with the sun and – perhaps with an intermediate stop on your dinner
plate – ultimately ends with the fish’s final decomposition, its component
chemical elements and energy thus returning to nature. Deen will show us
that the course of this transfer is facilitated – indeed, made possible –
by good riparian woodland husbandry, the unobstructed flow of cool, clean
water, and for some of us, additionally, a good bit of angling skill and
luck.

This talk is free, open to the public, and wheelchair accessible. We are
pleased to announce that it is being co-sponsored by the Connecticut River
Valley Chapter of Trout Unlimited, the Vermont Learning Collaborative, and
the Southeastern Vermont Watershed Alliance.

Directions: Vermont Learning Collaborative, 471 U.S. Route 5, Dummerston,
Vt. From exit 3 on I-91, go north on Route 5 (Putney Rd). The building is
about 1.8 miles north of the traffic circle.
