Royal Oak Nature Society November Programs

Explore the outdoors with the Royal Oak Nature Society in November.

November speaker program

“The Fish Communities of the Rouge River” is being held on Wednesday, Nov. 6 beginning 7:30 p.m. at the Royal Oak Middle School (709 N. Washington between 11 Mile Rd & Catalpa).  The Rouge is Michigan’s most polluted river.  Who would think that it is one of only three rivers in Michigan to have the endangered Redside Dace.   The Rouge is also the home of our newest invasive fish, the Mummichog.  The Rouge is really a fascinating river that flows close to Royal Oak with an amazing diversity of fishes.  Come learn about these fishes and why Bob Muller, our Nature Society naturalist, has spent the last two summers jumping into it.
