Trout in the Classroom reports 95% hatch rate; release planned for early April
Summary
Sanbornton Conservation Commission members heard that the Trout in the Classroom program achieved a 95% hatch rate at Sanbornton Central and Southwick schools, with fry beginning to feed; members discussed creating an informational video and expect releases in early April.
Commission members received an update on the Trout in the Classroom project at the March 12 meeting.
The report stated a 95% hatch rate at Sanbornton Central School and Southwick School; the hatched fish have begun to rise and feed. At Sant Bani the fish have hatched and begun to rise more slowly. Members discussed producing an informational video about the project, with a proposal to create a new video that highlights student participation and supporting organizations.
The commission noted that the likely release of the trout into local waters is expected in early April.
Why it matters: the program provides hands-on environmental education for local students and connects schools with local conservation work. The suggested video would broaden public awareness of the schools’ and community partners’ involvement.
No formal actions were recorded on the item; it was an informational update.
