Welcome to 7 Lakes Alliance and our Fish Friends experience! Come down to our building, located on Main Street in Belgrade, to see the Atlantic Salmon that we raise during the spring. We raise the salmon from their egg phase in February through their fry stage in May, and then release them into the Sandy River to help maintain the last surviving population of endangered Atlantic Salmon as part of the Maine Audubon “Fish Friends” program. The Fish Friends program is dedicated to helping Atlantic Salmon through learning about life cycles, highlighting Maine’s important habitat value, increasing awareness for Maine’s value for Atlantic Salmon, and encouraging participation in community projects.

This free program will consist of a lesson on the life cycle of Atlantic Salmon, an activity book to go along with the lesson, and up-close experience looking at our Atlantic Salmon population.
