IPSWICH, MA — The Ipswich River Watershed Association is holding several upcoming educational events open to Wilmington residents.
Show Me Your River
Thursday, May 3, 6:30pm-8pm
Ipswich River Watershed Association (143 Country Road, Ipswich)
Alicia Pulsifer Heyburn, originally of Ipswich, spent five weeks on a solo bicycle journey along the Rhine River. Along the way, she met with people working to improve river conditions for migratory fish. At each stop she’d ask, “Show me your river,” and encourage participation in World Fish Migration Day, held globally on April 21, 2018. Now back in Ipswich, where similar restoration efforts are underway, Alicia will be giving a presentation at the Ipswich River Watershed Association about the benefits of re-naturalizing a river to reduce flooding, improve water quality and improve connectivity for migratory species. Please RSVP to rsvp@ipswichriver.org.
Rain Barrel Workshop
Saturday, May 5, 10am-noon
Ipswich River Park (15 Central Street, North Reading)
Assemble your own rain barrel and learn how to use water wisely. Tickets are $20. Spaces are limited. RSVP to rsvp@ipswichriver.org or call 978-412-8200.
