The 21st annual Floating Workshop will be June 18, 2021. The focus on this year’s event will be on Coastal Embayments of Southeastern Connecticut. Please plan to join the TRBP for an informative paddle on the Poquonuck River, with stops at Bushy Point Beach and Baker Cove as we learn about water quality issues and what is being done to address them. Learn about the significance of eel grass, quahogs, oysters and more. Hands-on activities will be included. This will be a Bring Your Own Boat event. We also decided early in the planning stages that we would forgo an indoor session with lunch, so please eat before you arrive. This will be a 3 mile paddle in calm tidal waters (unless it is windy). Non boat people may hike to Bushy Point Beach. Please register and send your payment by June 15. https://thamesriverbasinpartnership.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/FW-21-Registration-Form.pdf The rain date for this event will be June 25, 2021. TVTU Fishing DayAs a result of the pandemic, TVTU canceled the annual fishing/campout at the Konnow Fish camp. In lieu of that event TVTU held a afternoon fishing and cookout on June 5th at the Konnow camp. This was a no mask but common sense social distancing event and the turnout was great. The weather was a little on the hot side (understated) and the fishing was not the best but it was a great social event. Best of all, Duke and Jen Preston provided a nice cookout. |
