Adirondack Fish and Piscivorous Birds In-Person

Biologist Lisa Holst will offer a brief history of the fish communities of the Adirondacks, including the history of degradation that shaped the Adirondack Park Preserve.

Topics the program will cover:
- Effects of acid rain and invasive species on fish habitat
- Profiles of some lesser-known native ADK fish species
- Ongoing restoration of endangered ADK fish species
- How the recovery of certain bird species is affecting fish and fisheries
- How piscivorous birds are affected by environmental contamination

This program is inspired by the SaratogaREADS! 2026 selection, The Soul of an Octopus by Sy Montgomery.

This program is co-sponsored by Southern Adirondack Audubon Society and Trout Unlimited Clearwater Chapter.
