Trout release celebrated
Seventh- and eighth-grade students in Becky Lentz’s science classroom at Riverside Schools wade in the waters of the Mad River at Lions Park in West Liberty to release rainbow trout that they raised this year through their participation in Trout in the Classroom. The national program is focused on watershed preservation and conservation. Throughout the school year, the students learned about the life cycle of trout, what environmental conditions are conducive for trout survival, and how healthy ecosystems are imperative for living organisms, including macroinvertebrates, to thrive and reproduce. The seventh- and eighth-graders also learned how to assess water quality. Pupils then toured the Freshwater Fish Farm of Ohio, where they were able to learn about commercial trout raising, environmental sustainability and ecosystems. The Trout in the Classroom part of the project was generously funded through the Logan County Solid Waste District via the Logan County Education Foundation. (RIVERSIDE SCHOOLS PHOTO)
