BRRT
Brandywine River Restoration Trust is dedicated to the restoration of the historic Brandywine River and enabling the migration of American Shad and providing equitable opportunity for environmental education and recreation.
Live Where the River Comes to You
Every fall, millions of tiny juvenile shad leave the Brandywine and start their trip to the Atlantic. It's one of the river's quietest and most amazing events, and it's one of the reasons we work so hard to restore this river.
Imagine watching it from your own balcony.
A personal note: I'm Jim Shanahan, BRRT's Executive Director, and I've lived here on the Brandywine for 9 beautiful years. I'm now selling my condo at 1960 Superfine Lane and I'd love for the next owner to be someone who cares about this river as much as I do.
What life here looks like:
🎣 Fish the river right from the private garden
🛶 Launch a kayak or canoe and paddle the Brandywine
🐢 See turtles sunning on the rocks
🪶 Watch blue herons hunting along the banks
🐟 Follow the shad runs, from the spring return to the fall trip out to sea
🍽️ Minutes from downtown Wilmington's restaurants, shops and nightlife
You get nature out back and the city just over the river
📸 The full listing is in the comments.

13lb brown trout next to the zoo 2 years ago 11.6lbs once I brought it to the scale was 6oz from breaking the state record from over 25 years ago
Years ago the snakehead invasion was gonna be apocalyptic. How did that pan out ?
There are snakeheads...yikes!
