The Fish Hatchery at Powder Mills Park, operated by the Riedman Foundation, is delighted to announce that it released more than four thousand Atlantic Salmon yearlings into Irondequoit Creek this week as part of an effort to restore the species to its native waters. The fish were raised in cooperation with the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation.  This is the first time that this hatchery has raised Atlantic salmon, in addition to the 10,000 trout raised each year.

A Lasting Tribute to John and Eileen Riedman

While John Riedman’s philanthropic legacy spans many causes, the Powder Mills Fish Hatchery held a special place in his heart.

After the Hatchery closed amid county budget cuts, The Riedman Foundation stepped in – helping reopen it and sustaining it as a public resource for the community. To learn more about the history of the Hatchery, please visit the About page.
