Eels, the Wonderful Journey
Do you know that there are eels in the Fall Kill Creek? American Eels that is. American eels have a fascinating life journey, travelling thousands of miles to get to where they will spend most of their life. Eels are also very important fish that help us indicate the quality of a stream. If you want to find out more, listen to our short podcast with local eel expert, Chris Bowser.

A Stream Loves its Trees’ and Shrubs’
Hey! don’t cut down that tree! Those trees and shrubs are part of the Fall Kill Creek’s riparian buffer! A riparian buffer is the land area along side of a creek or river and a healthy riparian buffer has vegetation, such as trees or shrubs, that benefit the waterbody. Join the Duchess NCLI crew and Beth Roessler as she explains more about these riparian buffers and her Trees for Tribs program!
