Alewife Restoration on the Sebasticook River and Beyond

Last year the Sebasticook River saw a return of over 9 million alewives – the largest alewife run on the East Coast. Landis Hudson, executive director of Maine Rivers, will share her experiences with successful alewife restoration efforts, as well as places that have not yet reached their potential. Landis is the Executive Director of the nonprofit Maine Rivers. Working with many partners including SRLT, she coordinated the successful seven-year six dam China Lake Alewife Restoration Initiative. Maine Rivers is engaged in numerous advocacy efforts throughout the state, and is an active  member of the Kennebec Coalition. Landis has a graduate degree in forestry resources management from the State University of New York, College of Environmental Science and Forestry, and an undergraduate degree from Oberlin College. She is a distance swimmer and a mother of twins!
