Join the us Thursday, November 13th at 6:00 PM for a discussion about the future of Sabattus River and Pond and some thoughts on the future of the Little Androscoggin River and lakes in its watershed. 

 The Maine Department of Marine Resources, NOAA and others have been working to improve fish passage on the Sabattus River.  Several unused and deteriorating dams have been removed, old industrial waste has been cleaned up, and further work is progressing to provide passage of sea run fish, especially alewives, into Sabattus Pond.  In addition, the Androscoggin Valley Soil and Water Conservation District is working with the Sabattus Pond Association to address erosion and nutrient runoff issues in the pond’s watershed. 

 On the Little Androscoggin River, the City of Auburn is removing a large, breached hydropower dam.  Improved fish passage is planned for the two downstream Barker Mill dams.  The goal is to eventually have sea run fish passage into the lakes and streams tributary to the Little Androscoggin River.

 We are offering this on-line workshop to provide more information about the Sabattus Watershed and the potential future of the Little Androscoggin Watershed.  To register, follow Sabattus Watershed + Workshop
