Last Friday we had a great day out with the 7th and 8th Graders of Mt. Pleasant Middle School for their annual #TroutintheClassroom Release Day!
Students spent the year raising baby trout from eggs to be released into the cold waters of Jacobs Creek on the Laurelville property.
While they were there, they also participated in various outdoor activities including sampling Macroinvertebrates with JCWA Program Coordinator Alex Busato! Students had a great time in the creek and learned about the importance of aquatic insects as indicators of water quality.
Thanks again for having us Mt. Pleasant Middle School!
