Trout Update

Forty trout eggs were delivered to our classroom aquarium Friday January 27th. The first egg hatched into a half inch long transparent fish with its egg sac attached to its underside February 2nd. These tiny fish are in the alevin stage of their development. Today we estimate we have 35 one-inch long gray alevins which are trying to blend in with the gravel in their 52 degree water.


Creating awareness of the need for clean creeks and a healthy watershed is one reason we participate in this project. We have this lovely creek flowing through our neighborhood which gives us a reason to care for our environment.


Anywhere you are is a watershed.
