Tom Horton describes the annual Rock Creek migration of river herring in Bay Country: “No finer parade, or one more unappreciated, ever swung through this capital than the quicksilver legions of Alosa pseudoharengus, the common river herring.” On our 23rd(!) annual herring walk, we hope to view the spawning run and discuss opportunities for restoring fish migration to Rock Creek. We will meet at the Cleveland Park metro and walk the adjacent stream valley to visit the fish ladder at Peirce Mill. We’ll continue south to Klingle Valley, just north of the National Zoo, and walk the hiker biker trail to our end point at Connecticut Ave and Devonshire Pl. which is a short walk back to the Cleveland Park metro station.
