Final Classroom Trout Releases!

We released the last of our trout today! 


This morning on a live zoom with the ScienCenter we released brown trout into Cascadilla Creek by Thompson Park downtown and this afternoon we released brook trout at Lower Robert H. Treman State Park as part of our Giving is Gorges funding campaign.




In the videos you will see us using a macroinvertibrates identification guide and hear us assessing the stream's health. Both these resources can be beneficial if you want to go out to your nearest creek or ditch and assess its health. We will also be posting some cool ways you can sample for macroinvertibrates that don't involve fancy nets like the ones we had in the videos.

You'll notice we're using masks and distancing in our videos, we recommend you do the same. Now get out there and enjoy the outdoors!
