On October 8, 2011, Team Estonoa collected the silos from their sites in Dungannon, Carfax, Burton’s Ford and St. Paul. From there, they were brought back to Wetlands Estonoa, measured one last time then turned over to VDGIF where they will be tagged and prepared for release.  The pictures below are from the retrieval at Burton’s Ford, Carfax, Dungannon. We’ll add photos from St. Paul as soon as they’re collected.  Thank goodness for cell phones because we forgot the camera. The public is invited to witness the release of the tagged mussels on October 21 in the Clinch River at A.R. Mattews Memorial Park in St. Paul, VA at 1:30 pm. Join us, won’t you!?!
