Trout in the Classroom is a program designed for students to raise trout from eggs to fingerlings. Once at their fingerling stage we will release them into local streams. Why are we raising trout? We are raising trout to make us more aware about the connections between trout and healthy watersheds. Also, raising trout helps increase our declining brook trout population. Since the brook trout is our state fish we find it important to keep the population at the right increment. So how can we help the population of brook trout? Well, most brook trout die because of their predators, when they are young, but if we raise them while they are young, they have a greater chance of survival. By participating in Trout in the Classroom, we are helping save our watershed.
