Event Details

[Ages 5 and up]

Spring is almost here and so are the eels!  American eels (Anguilla rostrata) are migratory fish that are hatched in the Atlantic Ocean and enter rivers as tiny “glass eels” each spring. The species is in decline and ongoing studies are needed for conservation. Teams of scientists, volunteers, and students collect glass eels using a net on several Hudson River tributaries including the Hannacroix Creek. Come learn about these mysterious creatures and ways that you can help protect this critical species.

Registration is appreciated.
