Maine Fisheries Program Complex Outreach Staff Provides Stewardship Training
Northeast Region, May 23, 2005
Print Friendly Version
During May the alewives return to Maine rivers from the sea, and the Atlantic salmon are migrating out! It's also during May each year that the outreach staff at Craig Brook National Fish Hatchery partners with the Maine State Planning Office to train new volunteers for the state's watershed councils, associations and other specific watershed and marine ecosystem projects. This May thirty-six new trainees from the Mid Coast Stewards and the Penobscot Bay Stewards organizations received training at Craig Brook National Fish Hatchery regarding endangered Atlantic salmon populations, their river habitats and the habitat restoration activities underway in their behalf. The ten-day stewardship training focuses upon watersheds and the many aspects of their dynamics, their economic value, the wildlife which inhabit them and the historic and present human impacts which affect their quality. The trainees are volunteers who possess a variety of professional and life skills which they put to work in concert with others to improve the quality of Maine's watersheds-- a most valuable partnership which benefits the quality of the rivers, their wildlife, including endangered Atlantic salmon and the quality of human life!
