Shad at Veteran’s Park

The Municipal Office is aware that the American Gizzard Shad have made their way up the Paulinskill to Keens Mill, which is the outlet of Swartswood Lake. Unfortunately, they have reached the end of their life span, and their die off is very evident at the edge of Veteran’s Park.  Fortunately, it is making the bald eagles very happy!
