Wild & Scenic River Stories: Fisher, Beaver, and Bear

Thursday, May 30, 2024 from 6:00 to 7:00 pm
at the Ashby Free Public Library, 812 Main Street in Ashby

View a video preview of our River Stories Program.

Once one of the ten most polluted rivers in the United States, the Nashua River has once again become a thriving wildlife habitat through the restoration efforts of the Nashua River Watershed Association (NRWA) and local communities. 

Join us for a free interpretive presentation about the behavior and physical adaptations of three of our larger mammals who depend on the landscapes and habitat of our nationally recognized Wild & Scenic Rivers, the Nashua, the Squannacook & the Nissitissit.

Using her locally filmed video and photographs, paired with footage from her network of motion sensitive cameras, NRWA Educator Gaynor Bigelbach will take participants behind the scenes of the lives of these animals. Learn about their behavior, how they are perfectly adapted to their environment, why our wild and scenic rivers create healthy habitat for these animals, and how we can live alongside them without conflict.
