Bring the family to Upper Landing Park in Poughkeepsie on Saturday, April 5 from 2-4 p.m. to learn about the lifecycle of the American eel in a fun and interactive way!  This hands-on Walkway Connections event will teach how community scientists have been monitoring eel numbers in Hudson Valley streams for 16 years as well as conservation efforts that are underway, while letting participants get up close with young eels that have just arrived from the ocean.

This Walkway Connections event is presented by educators from the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation Hudson River National Estuarine Research Reserve and Hudson River Estuary Program. It is free to attend and suitable for all ages.
