This Spring, three schools, Amery Intermediate, Malone Elementary (Prescott), and Greenwood Elementary (River Falls), participated in Kiap-TU-Wish’s Trout in the Classroom Program. Trout eggs obtained from the Saint Croix Trout Hatchery were provided to each class and raised to the “fry” stage and then released into the Willow River at a site located in Willow River State Park. Release dates were; Amery Intermediate May 12th, Malone Elementary (Prescott) May18th, and GreenWood Elementary (River Falls) May 27th. Kiap-TU-Wish volunteers helped Dean Hansen with bug collection and identification. Fly casting lessons were also provided.
