Visit a station for hands-on exploration of fly casting, aquatic macroinvertebrates, and water quality monitoring. Join in a guided riverwalk. Visit environmental organizations' and crafters booths. MassWildlife will join us so that participants can learn to fish without a license under instruction/supervision. Bring a picnic blanket or chair and sit for a spell along the River. Walk across the street and up the road to visit Natural Bridge State Park. Remember your water bottle. Participate in a river-themed sing along from 1:30-2pm and a riverside cleanup from 2-3pm.
