Basil Woods Chapter supports NH Fish & Game as they characterize Ballard Brook
Friday the 13th of September was lucky for the chapter and brook trout in a tributary of the Warner River.
The Basil Woods chapter supported NH Fish and Game as they characterize Ballard Brook, part of the Warner River watershed. The action was to count and catalog the wild brook trout population prior to the removal of an impassable culvert.
The culvert, shown in this picture, represents a risk to Red Brick Road and a barrier to wild trout movement. The culvert will be replaced to improve resilience to high water events but will also allow fish passage and wildlife resilience.
Over 50 wild trout were captured and returned to Ballard Brook and the volunteers had a fun day on a wild brook trout stream.
A BIG Thank You from the Newbury Conservation Commission!
The Basil W. Woods Jr. Chapter of Trout Unlimited recently donated 10K to the Newbury Conservation Commision (NCC) for their project to conserve land in the town of Newbury. The purchase helps protect the upland buffer for 2,000 feet of a coldwater perennial brook that flows into the Warner River; a state designated river. This unnamed stream segment links the upper headwaters of the Warner River to the outwash terraces below and provides coldwater habitat for a strong native population of brook trout that is in excellent condition and has not been Impacted by development or recent forestry.
