Join us for an evening with John “Bo” Baxter of Conservation Fisheries as he details how our local waterways serve as a vital network for our wildlife and as lifeblood for our lands as well.
Conservation Fisheries' work is conserving rare, threatened and endangered freshwater fish across the eastern United States. They rely on many partners to ensure protection of the streams, water quality and aquatic environment that our animals depend upon. Conservation of aquatic communities relies almost entirely on proper land use, including the use of native plant species.
