Highland Street Foundation is pleased to announce August Adventures, a calendar of FREE activities taking place during the month of August. Each day, there will be one museum, zoo, nature sanctuary, or event offered with no admission fee. We are excited to continue the tradition of free access in partnership with some of our amazing cultural institutions throughout Massachusetts.
This is our collective way of saying “Welcome Back” to the community!
Please note that many of the sites have limited capacity and require advance registration. Tickets will be distributed on a first-come, first-served basis. If you do register and cannot make it, please let the organization know so they can open it up to others. For more information, please visit www.highlandstreet.org.
We are reaching out because we’re working on a public health campaign in Chelsea regarding the safety of consuming fish caught from the Lower Mystic River. It’s critical information because eating the wrong species of fish can make people sick and put their families at risk.
Our website (in English and Spanish) outlines the species of fish that are safe to catch and eat, includes a video (again in Spanish and English) plus additional sites for safe fishing, and we ask that you please share these resources with your community.
We have postcards available in English, Spanish, and Cantonese with this fish advisory information. We are happy to send you copies of these if you would like to have them to share with your community. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions or concerns!
Thank you,
The Mystic River Watershed
