Every Spring, fishery biologists and dedicated volunteers try to do the impossible – bring back the Atlantic Salmon to New Hampshire’s rivers and streams. Salmon disappeared from the state’s waterways in the 1850s because of dams, over-fishing, and pollution. But if they ever are to return this program is their best hope. One rainy day earlier this month, NHPR’s Raquel Maria Dillon joined a group of volunteers stocking salmon on the Smith River in Grafton.
