SUMMARY:Webinar: Fish\, the Missing Link in Suburban/Urban Conservation
DESCRIPTION:Growing up in Newton Highlands in the 1960s and 70s\, Bob Malla
 rd was fascinated with the network of streams within striking distance of 
 his home.  These streams wove their way through Cold Spring Park\, Newton
  Center Cemetery\, Newton Free Library\, Newton City Hall\, and Albemarle 
 Park\, behind homes and business and under roads\, parking lots\, schools\
 , and playgrounds.  He learned to connect the subterranean and above grou
 nd\, or daylighted\, sections of stream by exploring\, peering into storm 
 drains\, and studying maps.  These streams have been straightened\, dredg
 ed\, moved\, walled in\, and buried.  They are subject to municipal storm
 water inputs as well as other point and non-point pollution.  But there i
 s still life in these heavily manipulated and often overlooked waters\, in
 cluding fish.  Bob will discuss the importance of native fish\, the impac
 t of nonnative fish\, as well as what Native Fish Coaltion has learned abo
 ut Cold Spring Brook and Cheesecake Brook.\nBob Mallard was born and raise
 d on Lake Avenue in Newton Highlands.  A lifelong angler\, he owned and o
 perated a fly-fishing shop in Maine for 15 years after retiring from high 
 tech.  Bob has written hundreds of articles on fish and fishing across do
 zens of publications\, as well as 5 nationally distributed fly-fishing boo
 ks.  In 2017\, Bob helped found Native Fish Coalition of Maine.  Today N
 FC boasts 21 state chapters from Maine to Arkansas\, including Massachuset
 ts\, and northwest to Wisconsin\, with Bob serving as the Executive Direct
