Red Brook Restoration - Protecting Red Brook and Sea-Run Brook Trout
Not long ago, sea-run brook trout were written off as a lost fishery from a bygone era. They had been lost to deforestation, pollution and dams. However, today due to the generosity of the Lyman family, who entrusted their 638 acres along Red Brook to Trout Unlimited, the The Trustees of Reservations, the Massachusetts Division of Fisheries and Wildlife, and thanks to the hard work and donations of hundreds of volunteers and supporters, sea-run brook trout, and brook trout as a whole, have a much better chance of survival throughout their range.
Red Brook is showing the way and the dams are coming down in our streams. By working together, we can assure that the next generation will have an opportunity to experience a restored sea-run brook trout fishery.memo
The monthly work parties are on hold until we have a clearer picture of the funding for the restoration of the Headwaters of Red Brook. We will be announcing the new work parties and location in 2023.
