My Project

The majority of Americans live in urban and suburban areas, places that provide limited access to wilderness. Additionally, young people are spending less time outdoors than in previous decades leading to a lost connection to nature. For these young people, the concept of a freshwater ecosystem can be very abstract.

Trout in the Classroom aquaria immerse students in natural phenomena typically experienced only outside.

They meaningfully engage in the care of salmonids and their micro-habitat through monitoring water quality in the tank. In this way, they become stewards not only of the trout but also the water.

The program creates a gateway stewardship experience that fosters a new generation of advocates for salmonids and the watersheds in which they live. Additionally, TIC/SIC unifies young people giving them a voice at the table around clean air and water. In this proposal, we are requesting an aquarium stand.

Trout in the Classroom unifies young people, giving them a voice at the table around clean air and water.
