Release Day Is HERE!!!

What a day! 25 students, 4 parents, and 6 volunteers later...our trout are swimming free in Carroll Creek! It was great to see the little guys swimming free in a healthy stream. With the help of our PVFF volunteers, students released the trout, learned about watershed/wetland issues, invasive species, and the stream buffer work, searched for aquatic macroinvertebrates, tested pH of the stream, learned casting techniques and saw beautiful examples of some of the flies Dr. Fine tied. Students are working on a MovieMaker project to highlight the release. Look for the movie on the blog next week!
