“Shad has a special place in the hearts of Windsorites,” says program manager, Heather Lodge. “Shad have shaped our kitchen table, our economy, and our culture for hundreds of years. So special is the shad, that Windsor has celebrated it for over 70 years with the town’s famous Shad Derby Festival. But sometimes you hear people ask, ‘what is a shad?’. That is the question that Steve Gephard is going to answer.” Steve Gephard worked for over 40 years as a fisheries biologist with the Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection to restore the Atlantic salmon and other migratory fishes, like shad, in the Connecticut River. Now, he educates the public about the role fish play in the ecosystem and works with governments in North America and Europe to conserve salmon populations in the North Atlantic. He is Connecticut’s go-to fish expert. Join us to learn and ask all about Connecticut’s state fish and Windsor’s natural treasure. Pre-registration is encouraged at https://windsorhistoricalsociety.org/events/. $10 adults, $8 seniors/members, $6 children under 18.
