27 Mar Rocks Village Riverside Cleanup Saturday April 13
On Saturday, April 13, 2013 starting at 9:00 AM there will be a riverside clean-up at Ferry Park in West Newbury; this area is known locally as the shad fishing spot “Rocks Village.”
This picturesque bend on the Merrimack River collects plastic and other floating debris from upstream and could use some stewardship.
This is a great early spring spot for American Shad so if you would like to learn about this area or shad fishing in general, come and meet local anglers while performing a valuable community service.

If you have any questions, please e-mail eroach1970@gmail.com
Hope to see you there.
