Herring migration viewings

[mem_winterhill]

Just got an email from MyRWA about the herring viewing open house hours. This is makes me feel better about the health of a river that runs through Somerville, and I appreciate the work these folks do for our green space.

Want to see a wildlife migration in your own backyard? .

If yes, head to the Mystic Lakes dam in Medford on the three upcoming open house days to learn about the river herring migration and to see the migration firsthand. Your support has helped this migration rebound--with 71% more herring spawning in the Mystic Lakes since 2012. Now you can check out your impact on:

Monday, May 8, 3:00 p.m. – 7:00 p.m.
Tuesday, May 16, 3:00 p.m. – 7:00 p.m.
Saturday, May 20, 12:00 p.m. – 3:00 p.m.
The dam is located at 517 Mystic Valley Pkwy Medford, MA, 02155 United States. We hope to see you there!

That address won't get you good directions on Google Maps. You're better off searching for "Mystic Lakes Dam".

I had no idea this was a thing. Thank you for letting me know!

If you become a fan of herring, you can also count them from home. There's a citizen science project for that.
