Herring Run Paddle Success!

Finally… after three attempts the Herring Run Paddle went off without a hitch on Saturday, May 8th.  It was a cool, cloudy day, and three guides led the paddlers in two separate groups from the launch at Upper Mill Pond through the connecting stream to Lower Mill Pond and to the dam near the Stony Brook Mill.  Naturalist, author and guide Peter Trull enlightened participants with his broad knowledge of birds and wildlife and Ryan Burch provided background on the town’s efforts to improve water quality and habitat in the Mill Ponds Complex.  The elusive herring were periodically spotted in the shallows. We are grateful to participants, SupFari Adventures co-owner Ryan Burch and guides Peter Trull, Luke Foley as well as event co-sponsor The Brewster Conservation Trust for making the First Annual Event possible. ​
