2008-11-12 / Community & Local News

FARMINGTON -- On Wednesday, Nov. 12 the Western Audubon Society will be presenting a program on Maine salmon restoration.

Paul Christman is a fisheries biologist who works with the Maine Atlantic Salmon Commission. Christman began working in fisheries with the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife during his college days first as a work-study student in 1995 and eventually as a contract fisheries technician. His current study area is from the St George River to the New Hampshire border. His three largest programs are the Sheepscot, Kennebec and Saco rivers.

Wednesday's presentation will cover the work he is doing on the Kennebec River. Christman will also bring us up to date on some work he is conducting on the Sandy River, a tributary to the Kennebec River.

This will be held at the U. of Maine Farmington in the Roberts Center, C 23, at 7 p.m. This is free and open to the public. There will be a short business meeting beforehand to vote on our new slate of officers. Contact person is Marge Blonder at 645-2445.
