Trout in the Classroom
140 very large rainbow trout were released in the Chattahoochee River earlier this month.
Students from the seventh grade science class at The Main Street Academy in College Park and volunteers from the Upper Chattahoochee Chapter of Trout Unlimited recently released 140 very large and healthy rainbow trout into the Chattahoochee River. This is the first year the school has participated in the Trout in the Classroom program. TIC is an environmental education program in which students raise trout from eggs to fingerling size fish. As part of the process, students monitor tank water quality, engage in stream habitat study, learn to appreciate water resources, begin to foster a conservation ethic and grow to understand ecosystems.
