#troutrelease

My sister and I went to trout release at our school. I personally released 8 trout but all together we released 200 trout into a local creek. Happy to miss school to go on a field trip and help stock up some streams. We also learned how to measure trees and learned what to look for in a creek/stream/river to see if it’s healthy.

“I learned that it’s good to have a good barrier for the rivers… and that you should always pick up after your dogs and all because it might end up falling into that sewer drain over there and once it does that could be really bad for the river.” 

Devon, a 4th grader at Waldo T. Skillin Elementary School, releases trout fry into Trout Brook in South Portland.

The students hatched the trout in the classroom and, on a field trip in May, they teamed up with instructors from the Portland Water District to determine if Trout Brook was safe enough for the fry to be released in the wild.
